I could def see myself converting this frame a little to use the Skyway bead-lok wheels 25 uses. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/19942 Some people definitely underestimate the use of 80/20. Btw, did you use any additional rendering software/add-ins with SW for this? |

Re: pic: Monocoque Treads
Looks beautiful. A couple of questions though.
Why one sheet of material, do you have access to a shop where handling a piece of material that big is practical? Second have you considered beading the base pan dimpling the holes for added structure? Great work. Pete |

Yes, we do have a shop where bending something like this would be fairly simple. If you take a closer look at the main shell, all of the folds are in one direction. We also have access to a CNC router. As far as beading and dimpling go, I never really considered it. I'm not sure that we have the kind of tools to do something like that, but it's a very interesting idea. Come to think of it, the base pan could probably be pretty open... again, similar to 1024's 2006 frame. |
Re: pic: Monocoque Treads
Nice looking chassis you've got there (and a VERY sweet render)! :yikes:
Any estimates on how much it would weigh? |
Re: pic: Monocoque Treads
What you see weighs about 20lbs. The frame is aluminum and the rollers are UHMW.
