another update :)
I have been working on 1 arm but got some doubts about the finish...
some pics:
had to mill out some material to let the shock move freely and allow 100% movement.
milled a bit inside the arm also to lose some weight but don't know if i'll keep it that way because of the loss of strength...?
this shows better i had to remove some material for the shock to move freely
Then i was bored and really wanted to test if this stuff was tough so i took a hammer, clamped it and started hammering it hard (per swing it had +/- 30mm of flex) and after
73 of those swings it broke.... This was the version without the milled down parts so i don't know if this is tough....????
It took 73 swings and i had the feeling i was abusing it lol but on the other hand i tested a stock HPI arm exactly the same and it didnt even bend! So the stock plastic is WAAAY stronger(alot more flexible)....
so this leaves me to this HMMMmMMMMmmmZZZzzZZZz !?!(§!è§è§ ??!! conclusion....
Don't know what to do.... the finished arms would have been reinforced with fibreglass and/or carbonfibre but still i'm confused...
some thoughts plz, is this material to weak or is it sufficient???
