Ok, lets talk chassis material. Guessing the stock tvps are about 3mm - 1/8". So I am thinking something like 4mm would be good. Probably 6061 al, as it is cheap and easy to cut with the tools I have. I have read that people think 5mm is overkill, and I am inclinded to agree.

As far as tvp design, I figured I would match the profile of my 19" wb savvy chassis, and alter it to fit the battery location, and clearance it for the motor on that side. I may make cutouts to lighten it, but that is more work and I am not sure if it is really necessary. I guess when I weigh it assembled I will decide if it is needed.

Time to scour ebay for some deals...
