Re: pic: Chassis Idea

Looks good... just a couple of suggestions:

- The angle bracing on your frame is excellent for structure, but they take up a bunch of space. One thing you could do instead is to replace the angle tube with an angled sheet brace on the bottom. This way, you could give your battery some more room, moving it away from the PD board.

- Leave room to put in a 2nd motor on the Super Shifters. Sometimes you need 2 per gearbox, sometimes you don't. If you leave room in the layout for 2 motors, you won't need to move things around later.

It takes guts to post your designs. Good for you for making a great design and showing it to us.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker
