Re: Octagon

Are you looking to use the Kit chassis rails?

I think the Corner Connect's in the kits can turn at such an angle, look at the omni kit chassis, it looks like they are turning at 45 degrees there. You could probably get it to work. You could always make a plate of aluminum to turn the corner, and put it on the top and bottom, attached with two bolts to each piece. You might need to face some of the angled pieces with the C facing out instead of in, to get the Corner Connects to work.
