Well, I managed to install all the bulkheads on the chassis... Luckily, the bulkheads are not perfect, so the distance between the mounting holes is not the same on any of them... So, after spending some time juggling them back and forth, four of them fit perfectly and I only had to enlarge the holes on the chassis for the third bulkhead, from 3mm to 3,25mm, not bad...



Looks small (sorry, is hard to take a picture of it), but remember, wheelbase is 44 inches... I'm working on the top chassis (four) and chassis braces now...

looking very good, it seems it is coming along pretty well.

Well, I'm still working on it, this past weekend I made the sockets on the chassis for the flat head titanium screws that hold the bulkheads (20 total)... I used a 6mm, 90 degrees, cnc made drill bit as you can see next... A standard 6mm drill bit won't do the job because the angle is different (60 degrees if I'm not mistaken)...



I also drew the plans for the short chassis braces (need 6)...



For the two rear top chassis...



And, for the front top chassis...



I'm working on the middle top chassis now and the two long chassis braces... And, I still have to decide if I'm going to polish or to anodize the aluminum...

Well, hope you like it so far, and I'll post more things soon...

Lots of time, thought and effort going into this one. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Nice work.

we need updates man!

[danielhr77]

Trust me, I'm working on it, I'll have all the upper chassis soon, probably next week...

[danielhr77]

Short update, got the four upper chassis today in 2mm acrylic...



If everything fits, I'll have them made in 4mm 7075 aluminum this week...

And, I might move the two servos from the longest chassis to the shorter chassis... So, all 4 servos are on the first top chassis...

Interesting project on the go...nice .

[danielhr77]

Thanks! Interesting and unique, I might add!

[danielhr77]

An update, so, the parts fitted perfectly, all the holes aligned well and the steering works nicely... I sent the CAD drawings to the CNC guy and he said he will try to have them in aluminum by this weekend! Also, I have to finish the chassis brace drawing, will try one first and see how it fits, I need 10 total... There's still a lot of work to do but I'm getting there...
