That is one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile. Great vision Eagle.

Thanks ecbill, GTS and kiwidave I thought there might be a few racers/builders that would like it. This will be an on going adventure....  I have also designed 8T and 9T 1mm shaft pinion gears for the motor. They are 3D resin printed. They will be part of the testing. Here are a few more photos. In this photo to the left is the first wood milling I did to start design. Once I had it down I started using carbon fiber. The next two are the short chassis. The last one is the long chassis flipped over displaying the gloss side. That is what you see when it is mounted in a body.
 In this photo you can see how the motor is attached, two screws. If you look closely the axle keepers can be seen. The axle snaps in from above and the axle keepers stop it from popping out.
 This photo shows a 40 Ford setting on the chassis. The chassis has five positions for the front axle.

Didn't have time yesterday to comment on your chassis but they are impressive. Carbon fiber is really hard on cutting tools. Used to fool with it some on RC cars.
Are you using Mega G motors? Are you looking to market the chassis' once you get them perfected?
Keep us posted!

I thought I would build a few and see what happens. Latest update on chassis is I am adding to the design adjustable traction magnets. That is the plan I hope.....  |

Robert nice work. Chassis are looking really good. Let us know if and when you might have some available. Looks like they would be a lot of fun.

Looks very cool. As always looking forward to the test results when completed. Any plans for a separate component motor/magnet set up in the future? Thanks for sharing.

Here are a few more photos and one video of the new chassis. The video is the very first test run at 22 volts. Just click the pic to work video.
Here is the pickup system. I have designed a braid guide for each side. It also helps set the pickup height.
This photo shows the gear train for testing. I designed a 1mm 8T and 9T pinion gear for the motor. The crown gear is a 20T.

Looks and sounds good. It must be very satisfying to successfully build a car from scratch! Nice pick-up system.

Thanks fellows, just finished the adjustable traction magnet setup for the chassis. I will do pics later.
