Our redesigned
chassis held up very well, it consisted of the following:
-8WD with .160 drop centers
-6061 2x1x.125 Tubing except for over wheel rail mounts (1.5x1x.125 Tubing)
-WCP SS 6CIM Gearbox modified for #35 chain, non-direct drive, and spacers to solid aluminum/solid delrin with 1/4-20s
-WCP Bearing blocks with 1/2" Round Bearings
-4140 1/2" steel hex stock turned round through bearings, keyed for sprockets
-6" Pneumatic WCP hubs with diamond tread
-#35 Chain running on 12T sprockets
-Full Wrap Belly Pan
Built it once, only maintenance was checking tire pressure.
It's safe to say that our first time with our modified WCD was a success and the teams new baseline.
