Yup, I took the red pill.......again. ;)
In search of a better performing plastic chassis, I've started a scratch build from a 2mm styrene sheet. I'm looking for a stiffer rear and more controlled diagonal flex in the front. This one will have carbon fiber torsion bars to help control the front end motion (at least that's the plan right now). All of the raw materials are in the house now, so it's a matter of getting them cut out and glued together.
I'll add to this thread as I go along. If it works, it's headed for the Group 5 North American proxy; if it fails, then last year's chassis gets a recall to action..............
Kind or ugly at this point; you have to use some imagination to "see" it............ The larger holes inside the small hole outlines on the main chassis are for inserting a coping saw blade to facilitate the cut-out. The structure to the left is the guide holder.
Next step is the cut-out, smoothing up and a few more straight cuts in the chassis.
I will clearly need a considerable amount of luck..............
