I've been building for a couple years now but never had a thread. Constructive criticism is appreciated as most of my builds come from the noggin as opposed to doing any real research so I may be way off with some of my ideas. Anywhoo heres what I got going:
I have a few AX10s with the standard chassis but have decided to try a conversion to a more conventional chassis type utilizing a TVP setup. My only tools available is a drillpress, bandsaw, belt/disc sander, and tons of self medicating courtesy of Mr. Bluemoon:burp::
.032" aluminum twin vertical plates with some different setup locations for suspension and linkages:
Had some white delrin lyin around so fabbed the skid:
The chassis supports are a bit beefy (1/4" barstock) and may be swapped later for a lighter material:
And after a bit of assembly heres the chassis:
A typical SCX chassis is 2.5" wide. I'm making this 3" wide with the thought of stability in mind. More to come as the parts start rolling in
