Well im bored again, So i went and got some aluminum and similar materials from the hardware store to try and build a chassis. It seems promising. its ULTRA low cog and decent ground clearance so far. Will post pics when im done. im taking pics of th ebuilding process too for all you that wanna see it.

Can't wait to see it. Give us a play by play. Tools you used and how. If it's informative enough I might be able to pin it as a how to. Ken  |

Nodnarb, It doesn't have to be 100% complete. Take picks as you go and describe what and how you did it. This way it will give people new ideas and how to tips. Unless it's top secret military stuff, of course. Sorry nodnarb. When I wrote this I was on 56k and the pics didn't down load. Great shots. |

rcnut.. its SUPER easy. Go to homedepot or lowes. look for the two types of metal i have. grab two sections of the angled aluminum and copy what i have. i can give you some rough measurements if you want. its SUPER easy. if you have a dremel or a hacksaw and a hand drill it can be done. and once you see how little the metal costs youll soon see it doesnt hurt to try and mess it up.

You can also go to your local sheet metal shop and they will sometimes give you scrap metal, which is usually more than enough to work with.
