Re: pic: Rastogi 8wd Iteration 1.2
With little experience designing sheet metal chassis, I will share my opinions anway.
1. Any reason for folding out instead of in? Without that pesky bolt heads frame perimeter rule, there should be no reason to cover the bolt heads.
2. What material is the dead axle? I assume a 3/8" pipe, taped at the end, with a bolt holding it in.
3. Again, why the dual-nano?
3a. You could alternatively make the distance between the two side plates exactly the width of an AM Shifter, then put an AM Shifter inside (with the chassis sides as the side plates). Or, you could just use an SuperShifter or Toughbox as you do now, with a live axle, then chain the other side.
4. Why the bump-climbing notch? Assuming there is less terrain then this game...
5. I like the render. Looks very real.
