STIFFY chassis assembly... final cut!

[zeropointbug]

Hey guys, just wanted to post a screenshot of my chassis i designed on 3D CAD. It's not a great pic... is there a free image hosting website i can use?

Anyways the chassis weights 420 grams LEST the motor, the motor weights another 410 grams too.

I have tested it using simulation software ALGOR DesignCheck, and the chassis braces have a breaking strength of roughly 3000 lbs. However, i made the front connecting plate relatively weaker (intentionally) to buckle before that, and not to snap the screws. I wanted the weak link to safe the rest, because the plate would be much less expensive to replace.

The rear connect plate is for the Quark 125B controller, I will be applying Arctic Silver 5 to it, and using zip ties, strapping it on there; the entire chassis will act as a heatsink integration ;)

The pic is a back view, the motor on it is the 7XL 540C, i modeled it up quickly just to get a relative measure.
