The official "lightweight" chassis thread.

[vintage AE]

this thread makes me laugh, man there are some real works of at here.

here is my contribution

the motor plate isn't finished yet, it's going blue after I smoothen it out a bit more.

sorry, your contribution is not worthy of this thread: only silly ones are allowed in

With one of the chassis of this thread, I would become crazy: how can you recognize the screws holes when all you have is holes ?
Surely mutch more setups than in standard chassis!!!!

I think you are right, my chassis is not cheesy enough for this thread maybe i will go drill some hole in it to fit in with the crowd, NO just kidding, I wouldn't do that.
Although that was the original plan. I wanted to drill several 1/2" holes in it before getting it coated, I think I will leave it now though

[Mr. ED]

I think you don't need to lighten it at all with the new motors, and you can shave of alot by using lipo anyway. Pleasedon't make holes inthe bottom : they will only raise the center of gravity

cheers

Mr. ED's Comment was the best reason for not to drill holes in to chassis that I have ever heard!

in my point of view, these holes are absolutly necessary for electronic cooling!!!!!
It creates an air flow internally.
Asso missed really something on this chassis.

[greazy]

I never had a heat problem when running an undrilled gold pan. Your electronics are setting on a big heat sink.

i think the main reason for drilling the holes is to look cool maybe more cool than the electronics. there probably is a very minor effect with modern electronics. i wouldn't know anyway, i don't have one to post

The more holes in your car, the cooler you are!

they'd have to be 9 mm holes if you wanna be taken serious

1/2 inch here in the states is a good size but you can go bigger under the right circumstances.

[vintage AE]

in canada we go both ways depending on which industry you are in either way the bigger or more you had, the cooler you were
