Kraton Product request - 4 mm thick chassis plate

[dms70]

Says $15 for shipping? Or did you order $200 worth of stuff?

I bought 2, my buddy wants one too. So free shipping.

One could make one. 4mm aluminum can be bought in 2-3’ lengths from many places on the Internet. Just lay your old chassis on top and cut it out, dremel the diff slots and drill, tap+countersink the holes, and bend it to match...come on now where rc guys...

This is @werner sline homemade 4mm 7075 chassis, just watching him struggle to bend it into shape tells me how much better a 4mm chassis would be over the stock one.

His videos are a riot. that thing is a beast. Best to bend with a sheet metal break. if you have a fabrication shop or know someone who works at one it takes minutes and they could do the two long ways bends near the edges to make it even more strong. We have a press with a break here at work. Lucky me.

thanks for posting my video ! i appreciate !

meanwhile i welded my own homemade folding tool ! i'm uploading a video right now.

i wanted to show that even with a hammer ( + a bigger hammer lol ) you can make a strong chassis with basic tools !

when people will see my basic folding tool, some will think " uh that isn't anymore homemade stuff, i can't copy that ..."
so the hammertime had to be shown !!

actually i shaved the tires ! yeah i know, this is crazy. but i got 120grs less rotational mass to have a better control and less overall weight
