Flat chassis for RevoSlot Porsche Adj. axes Printed chassis

[ePilot]

Hi all,

Here my attempt to flatten the RevoSlot Porsche 911 GT2 chassis.

The provisional result (some small things to do!) :



Overview :



Some 1mm deep milling :





The brass bolts have to be modified too :



To lower the chassis I made 2mm styreen shims for the front axle and 1mm for behind
(want to print nylon versions maybe in different thicknesses) :





Used temporarily 2mm long brass axle spacers to lower the chassis within the body
(want to print nylon versions maybe in different thicknesses) :



Used some modified replacement M2 bolts (Black Arrow titanium) :



Last but not least I replaced the motorpod screws (also modified Black Arrow screws):



Does anyone know how to demount this terrible thing? Without destroying it?
Problem solved! See: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17644



Regards,
Gerrit

Interested to see if this makes any difference - I have the BRM NSU and Simca and they run fine with a very similar chassis to the Revo chassis

This is a new company to me. The car looks expensive, but very nice.

Hi Bob,

This car has the same price as a NSR car. At least here in the Netherlands.
There are some shortcomings in my eyes. There are nearly no adjustments possible. For instance there is no possibility to adjust the axle height.
So here you need some DIY !

Any update on the lowered chassis? Results.....

Waiting for 3D printed parts from Shapeways...
To get more adjustment possibilities with these cars...

[ePilot]

A little bit of tinkering...
A better version is baked at Shapeways now :)

I'll be able to buy these at Shapeways?

[ePilot]

Not yet. I'll try to make them available at Shapeways. Plus maybe a drilling template. To make installing more easy. In a few weeks I hope.

How does it drive before and after the modifications ?
