losi carpet chassis

[rcjunky]

I have been working with turbosimi (he is working on all the cad files) on my lastest project of making a more carpet ideal chassis for my xxx-cr. Here's what it currantly is looking like



Its going to be 1/2" thick. I'm thinking of doing the bottom 3/8" out of UHMW, a pretty strong plastic, then the top 1/8" out of aluminum so it will be stronger and keep costs down, and will lok pretty pimp having the bottom black and the top polished aluminum. It will use the stock front bulkheads and will have spacers on the front 2 holes to attach the top of the bulkhead to the chassis, and on the back, there will be a C shaped peice on standoffs from the t-plate holes to mount the front of the rear shock tower to. Let me know what you guys think, this will be the first of this type at our local race scene, no one thinks out of the box nearly as much as you guys do, they thought I was crazy doing a home made MM conversion on my losi, until I was a lap faster

Is there any interest if I where to sell these as a complete chassis? its alot cheap to do multiple (less the 33% of the cost if I did one) I can do a complete conversion (with al the spacers, fasteners and the rear brace for the rear shock tower) for about 100 pounds or $150 canadian if there is enough interest.
