Re: pic: Miriacle Physics- 179's chassis
what you see there weighed 14 pounds. it's 1/4" 6061 aluminum designed By Dan And I and cut with waterjet. it has tabs to line up all the pieces together. those had to be filed. and the holes witch the tubes went through had to be reamed. some pieces had to be filed to get them to fit just because of the waterjet flaring.it was Welded by Scott Macarthur, an engineer Mentor. the middle wheel holes were .2" lower than the outer ones but welding bowed the chassis and the ended up being about .375" lower.
