Are you supporting the end of the shafts on those P-80's? If so did you get the long shaft? We could only find the regular length.

whats the point of powdercoating the kit frame?

although the cool-factor alomost outweighs the time delay....

nice work

nice work

Close inspection of the photo indicates that this is not the C-Base from the kit. I'd be interested in knowing more about it, though!

I noticed the end caps, but what is the rest made out of

could it be an old IFI frame?

Appears to be the 2005-2007 IFI kit bot.

Ice Berg · #7 25-01-2009, 21:19

I see those AM corner extrusions at the back of the bot. I think its the C-Base with different bracing at the front.

Gosh darn, somebody went and bolted on some ugly bumper mounts after you got your powercoating done.

Looks like class!

organman42 · #9 25-01-2009, 21:29

That looks awesome. The frame goes nicely with the camo balls.

10 inch wheel base? .... wow. Looking forward to seeing how maneuverable you are at FLR.

fordchrist675 · #11 26-01-2009, 01:05

Yeah looks like a nice set up. Did you change the gear ratios at all?

or just standard? looks like itll do the job though

railerobotics · #12 26-01-2009, 08:15

Looks nice. However, only two cims for this years game.

What rule is this? The kit only came with two cims, but up to four can be used. One just has to purchase the other two.

I like it.

I've got a question, and it's about bumpers - so you can all groan now if you want.

How can you leagally protect the rear corners of this frame with BUMPERS that satisfy all of the rules?

As far as I understand (and no, I don't have my BUMPER RULE DEGREE from FIRST yet), you can't have the bumper extend past the end of the back rail, but you need to protect the corner on both sides. The side bumper can't extend past the end of the side rail, so that leaves a 1.125 inch length that is not protected. (Having a pool noodle extend past the edge of the plywood doesn't count.)

I think this problem was brought up somewhere before.

Any answers?
