Note I copied this (my) thread from the original @ http://www.hpiracing.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number=2&SUBMIT=Go , where this whole project originally started. It is far from over, but closer than when I started ( http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/biggrin.gif).
Consisting of a centered tank configuration, and a re-designed chassis, plus custom towers, braces (Yes, 2 of them), handling plates, and a few other goodies. Click the links to get caught up.......Sorry I didn't think to put the idea here sooner.
Okay, once again, for those who haven't been following this thread, here are the original thread's links:
My inspiration, Chris Marshall's project in the original thread posted by TC3 RACER, "*CENTERED* Tank on 1st Gen. NRS4..." ( http://www.hpiracing.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/005570.html ), http://www.rcmodels.com/hamrcclub/howto/rs4.htm (Whew)
My first response thread, Center Tank Conversion, MY way, Phase 1,
http://www.hpiracing.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006313.html
And I just won't mention that last thread, Centered Tank Coversion, Phase II - Chassis, etc, that covered everything except the chassis...lol http://www.hpiracing.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006849.html
Here's the final template for the chassis. It will be formed out of 7075 T6, 4mm aluminum (not 3mm like the deck), Note that the traingular holes (Marked w/ an “x”) will not be included in the aluminum chassis.
All, that’s left now is the Y-brace, rear tower, front tower, handling plates, and one or two other ideas. Almost there………
