the frame with centerdiff weigths 492 grams, it sounds havy?? :neutral:
indeed, the back wil have a kick down

@JThiessen
I measured everything with a caliper.
I don't know de excact distance from the holes of the top to the holes on the bottem.
al the screws will be countersinking, but thats for later.

@david lamontagn
for the rear center drive shaft I use a shaft that usualy goes from the front/rear diff to the whiel.

ps. thanks for al the comments so far!!

Wow thats amazing.. great job. Cool to see something go from an idea to reality. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Amazing work. It will be all worth it once it is finished and drivable.

Nicely done man, that looks great, it sounds heavy but at least its ready for a big time brushless motor and looks very professional. Any plans for a production run?

Personally, if you have anymore made, I would use 6065 T6 and or CF.

Looks great, by the way!

okee, the frame is almost finished!
the only things I have to is make a few ofstands and countersink a few screws.

the only problem is I can't drive it at the moment, one maxamps cell just blew up:neutral:, the pack wasn't even handwarm.
(I allready send them a mail but they don't answer)

here are some pics of the car.

wow - that looks amazing!

i'll chime in with whomever said it earlier - if you make a production run, count me in!!

Same here.

Oh yes, thats the good stuff. I have no plans for an E-revo, but if I did, thats what it would be....

That's simply amazing machine work, remie! I like that you went with 7075 T6 Aluminum as well. That is some tough stuff - almost as tough as Titanium, I believe.

I missed the first parts of this thread.
I have to say. Nice job.
You did good on the design.
It gets two thumbs up.
Is it a little longer then stock?

That is the absolutely sweet. Bad luck with the Maxamps though. It should be an awesome little truck to run.

Very nice work.
6061 is strong but bends and scratches too easy. 7075 is an ideal choice for the chassis. 7075 costs a little more but is worth the money in the long run.

I am using Lipo's as well so i made myself a custom bottom plate without cutouts for the batts. This was to protect my Lipo's from getting puntured from below. This might be something to consider for the future. The solid bottom plate around the batts adds some ounces but helps me feel better about the abuse I'm putting them through. :smile:

The chassis is a little longer then the revo 3.3 chassis.

I'm considering to sell a few of these frame's, but I first have to look for a company that can produce them, now everythings is made by fellow rc-ers.

ps. maxamps send me a replace cell.

Amazing work on the chassis. Very, very nice. Looking forward to see how it does for you.
