updates will be coming soon.Im building up my sons emaxx also & hes not quite as patient getting them back together as i am so iv been doing the boring stuff(reassembly,filling shocks,ect.)just to get him running.once i finish this prototype chassi I will be doing 1 for both our trucks(if it works out,if it doesn't then Mike's vmaxx here we come
) the chassi im doing now is just basic aluminium for mockup & testing to see if I want to make any weight/balance/length/thickness changes before i do 2 from 7075.This one is only 1/2 in longer then the stock newer chassi I may go longer but im trying to limit the stress on the arms during rolls as these are strictly down & dirty bashing machines that see more abuse than they ever should.I got a little shaping done to the braces yesterday but am hung up on design for weight reduction cutouts on the top plate.The goal is a mid cg high clearance chassis so instead of 1/4" top plates & 1/8 mid or lower plates like most chassies out there im using 3/16" for top & bottom to transfer even more weight down(I may go down in thickness on the mid plate as total weight is already becoming apparent.The mid battery plate will likely tie directly to both the front & rear custom thicker skids as well to create a solid lower frame(for lack of better words)I have a feeling there with be a lot of play with weight reduction & material thickness before im happy & the final result may be nothing like planned but thats half the fun so stay tuned.I may cut up the purple chassi To mount the servos but as of now the plan is to get the servo on the mid plate or between the rails on the front skid
