Alright guys, My name is Chad , and the purpose of this build is to build a no prep drag car that is as much 3d printed as possible while still maintaining enough performance to be competitive in the class. That being said , the front end will be slash build based as those parts are already available in STL form.. The main chassis and rear end will be of my own design .. In looking at the rules we must maintain a working 4 wheel suspension , check. We must have a transmission , Check.. Wheel base must be that of an SCT , Check.. Now that being said , the idea in my head is of a solid axle MOA design .. Think super simple gearbox integrated into a solid rear axle design similar to the rear end found on something like the Tamiya grasshopper.. But Instead of hinging for simple suspension , lets put it on a triangulated 4 link with the standard slash rear oil shock for ultra supple tunable suspension.. Is this going to be some ultra super performance design ? No.. quite simply It is intended to be a mechanically solid 3d printed chassis to go under the current offering of lexan bodies.. That way those of us that enjoy printing our R/C's can get in on the 1/10 drag game.. The first 2 purchased components I have for the build are a pair of pre-mounted R slicks , and the pro-line 85 Camaro body , I have the first printed components for the build on the machines right now.. A pair of wheels that are pretty close to the pre-mount wheel design , and I printed the front tires out of TPU. Here are the R tires and I will post pics of the printed fronts as soon as they are off the machines..
