Anyways, still some refining to do but all it is is some chamfering/hole making/fileting.. the easy stuff, to make it look pretty and to piece it together.
I'll keep working on it tonight and see what I can do! I just remembered I still have to make some shock towers for this thing, but those shouldn't take too long. Hope to have everything done tomorrow to send off!

Complete, with Mudguards (These are my own)


Mudguards off


Just the Chassis

Nice!!! Just keep us updated! i still like the idea of this chassis.... I can see why no one has really attempted it now... Its quite complex.

I was looking at the designs and notcied that you are going to have problems utilising the stock steering assembly unless you use one out of another car which has a flat chassis.

Also how are you going to mount the motor?
1.To the side of the centre diff to keep the LCG?
or
2.mount it above like using the universal diff/motor mount in the RCM Store?

I vote 1. for Low centre gravity reasons. Otherwise what the point in making a chassis like this.

Seriously i would love one myself when you are done!

You can see the holes on the chassis up front, surrounded by a little bit of circular material, where I assume he is going to install a two-post bellcrank style servo-saver/steering assembly. A UE GenIV SS would be awesome there!

You can also see the 4 slotted holes in the chassis where he will mount the motor using a full-can motor-mount, like the Tekno conversion mount.
