homemade 1/8th buggy belt drive, brushless

Doing all the CAD work then printing it out and cutting it by hand is far more simple.
Based on what?
The best method is CAD designed in solid modeling and then CNC cut. If you want it right, and look nice, and function great, you will cnc your products. I think some of the stuff he has drawn will not be able to be made. Looks great in the picture, but when it comes time to actually make chips it just wont happen. I get that all the time time from the auto product designers

I realize that it would be more simple to CNC it, but maybe he doesn't have the funds or resources to do that? I was simple saying that to custom make a buggy like that FROM HAND, designing it in CAD, printing it and cutting it is far more simple than the usual cut and pray it fits approach which you can't exactly go about when your designing the whole car...At least if he follows all the templates he made, he knows its gonna fit together...
