I will definitely think about that. I don't even know if we will run live axles or got with the standard drive like we have done in the past.

Re: 2012 Chassis Preview

I'm a little confused as to why your bearing blocks are only on the inside, and there isn't a second mating half on the outside? The entire point of making the bearing blocks is that they can slide in a pocket to tension your chain. Without that feature there's really no reason to have them.

Additionally, once you add the radii to those pockets on the face of the bearing blocks they'll be so small they probably won't even be worth machining.

Good catch. I forgot to put blocks on the outside.

Re: 2012 Chassis Preview

I think everyone who didn't make it to champs has the itch to start working ASAP, I know I do. But really, great CAD. Better than anyone from my team could do.

Re: 2012 Chassis Preview

Looks very nice!! but how are you going to run chain to the front wheels? Because I see you have only 1 sprocket on the center wheels.

you would be able to make it direct drive by removing the double sprocket in the transmission and extending that shaft, or removing the on side plate and using the stock shaft. Insert the shaft (which ever chosen) into a Andymark Hub that is bolted onto the wheel fasten as you would with a macanum wheel.

This is how our team has done Direct drive, it has worked for many many years.

May I ask how you made everything so shiny.. for some reason i can't find it out.

I am also designing chassis's in solidworks, but mine never have the nice colour yours are like.

Good luck !
