Finally. I found the time to complete my new Scale Chassis. We spent a lot of time in designing and fabricating this project. It will showcase our enhanced fabricating capabilities and new chassis and parts design.
Just a brief overview, the chassis is a ladder type design constructed from 4.5mm Aluminum. The most notable difference is the use of an upper chassis ladder frame to add rigidity and mounting points for the upper links and electronics plate. Another feature is the dual function suspension that incorporates both conventional coil over shocks as well as droop shocks. The shocks pivots on self lubricating bronze bushing equipped Cantilever Mounts. This effectively increases the overall travel of the shocks while giving it a droop capability in the extended down travel.
The axles while still retaining the plastic housing is surrounded by aluminum brackets which integrate the link and shock mounts as well as the servo plates. The stock link mount tabs are supported by aluminum tabs which takes most of not all of the load.
Body mods include 1.5mm steel plate custom bumper and roll bars. Billet aluminum Silverado lightbuckets, Silverado HD type side mirrors and LED lights.
I hope you enjoy viewing. Thanks
