After 8 months...the Rapier is here!

[Dagger Thrasher]

Guys,

I just thought I'd post about the latest development of my modified Wild Dagger, called Cold Fusion...her new, custom-designed and CNC cut racing chassis. After 8 months of CAD designing (most of which was done by a certain Tony Salerno, of Demon Designs) and waiting...a lot of waiting...it's finished! I'm sorry, but I can't keep it to myself, so I thought I'd post up some pics! I'm really excited about it.








The entire chassis is CNC plasma-cut from 4mm aluminium and is designed for maximum strength, minimum weight, and lowest possible CG. It also incorporates 10 degrees front caster for straight-line controllability, gives a wheelbase of almost 13" for maximum stability, and has a capacity for up to 16 cells with special battery supports (which incorporate hooks for using bands to hold the batteries in)....just haven't test driven it yet! Ultimately the chassis will run the dual brushless system I've been yabbering on about for the past year, so hnadling and strength is key...

Sorry about the state of the tyres in the pics, it's just chalk lol! Thanks for looking, I'm just insanely excited about this chassis. :)
