Design of heplessness
 
My car got broken into and as im calling all the credit card companies and filing my police report and listening to the AWESOME hold music....I decide to draw up a chassis..........still on hold:neutral:

Ill mill these out this summer, but this is a rough sketch of the chassis

Is this a touring car chassis? Looks like it may be better for a heli, if you ask me, but you did not, so I guess you could use it for a crawler.

Looks like you were on hold for quite a while. The chassis looks solid enough, will it be 3mm Al?

Sorry to hear about your car...hope it all turns out well for you

The chassis design is very nice...what will you be mounting it to

Looks like the TVP crawler chassis. Looks real good.

No it will be made from 1/8" UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) polyethylene. It has great impact resistance and tensile strength

Yea, didnt damage the car too bad. The door is a little off square. Just took my wallet, my $160 calculator, climbing rope, some gatorades, and my handheld VHF. So all in all about $400 worth of stuff and my wallet.

Police think its kids cuz they used my debit card at tacobell befo i could cancel.

The chassis will bolt on to my ax-10 axles. Just something new for me so id like to see how it fits and performs. Just gotta get the time to machine it. its FINALS CRUNCH TIME:gasp:

Thanks! im not feeling the front end tho. I have to see if i can heat and bend the front to give it a good flow to a point....well see

UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) polyethylene is a very strong material. It's self-lubricating too. I actually used 2 1/2 inch diameter pucks on my 1:1 trucks body lift. It's pretty cheap compared to buying a kit from a 4WD store.
