IndySam I am with gburlison in that I would love to hear more about this. I never thought of gluing a frame together but that may be a good alternative to welding as we have a sponsor who could get us the 8020 parts easily enough (if we can't make our own) Do you have any examples of possibly a 2x1 tube connector? If you don't I would still love to see what your 1x1's look like.

Thanks,

About the CAD Model, interesting choice of live axles but I suppose the wheel was the deciding factor.

I found too when I did some of my own CAD models, for things like batteries, cims and gearboxes its usually easiest just to set the weight and be done with it (no messing around with materials, but always use them on stuff you plan to build yourself (aluminum frame)).

I have yet to design a frame like this, might try to CAD one quick before the kickoff.
