As some of you may have seen, I'm playing around with my AX-10 RTR as a rock racer. http://hawkeye.cybercious.com/wprc/v...php?f=95&t=548
I MIG wielded a roll bar for my AX-10 as a temporary way to get rid of the plastic body. I had hopes of someday making a full tube chassis. Well, I had a little time today, so despite the fact I have no idea what I'm doing, I started the chassis.
I didn't even know how I was going to make the front end when I started, I'm just making it up as I go, so I can't wait to see how it turns out.
I'm MIG wielding 3/16 solid steel rod to make this chassis. The geometry of the chassis is what has me most concerned. I have no idea if this thing will flex the was it's supposed to or not.
I have some 8-32 all thread, and some 1/4" brake line, so I just need some jato rod ends, and I can do the mock up when I get the chassis done.
It's a long way from done but, so far it's been fun. Hopefully it will get done, and at least be useable.
Here's a few pics.
