RC10 Tube Chassis Prototype

[mikedealer]

finally got some pics of my build going and wanted to post them up here as i build them.

keep in mind this is just a prototype so forgive the crappy welds, they will clean up nicely anyway. i used 3/16 stainless tube (the coated stuff gives off toxic fumes lol) and some 45 silver brazing wire & white flux.

i built a b4 chassis with same tubes and it stands up really well against bashing and hard hits if built strong enough.

its only about 1/3 done, but wanted to post up before i get lazy again.

Looking pretty awesome there mate. Are you planning on selling these? Any updates?

thanks, im planning to make 10 or so, i actually scrapped the above chassis after completing more of it for a simpler design with less welds and more strength, got some advice from the crawler forum.

if i get enough steel to make more, i will make at least 10 chassis's, im trying to figure out my cost on each chassis and how much time it will take to weld etc. honestly im not sure of the price but it will probably be close or above $200 with the amount of time its taking me even with all the proper cutting tools and saws etc.

Im planning on making 3 types of chassis, a rc10 chassis, a rc10b4 chassis, and a classis rc10t chassis all tubed, so far the B4 CHassis has been the hardest and unless i make jigs for it, its going to be impossible to replicate haha. ill post up a ton of pictures here if i can snag my friends camera again
