New 3Racing 3mm Chassis
Gazza Wed Jun 02, 2010 3:00 am
So how many of you out there have a 3Racing chassis that you looked at and thought. . .
heck look at the weak points around the holes where the link arms go . . .
Well me to and I bought a New chassis ready to fit when it would get broke. . .
Well I did not have to wait to long it went a few weeks back
So this it what it should look like for those that don't run one
And here is mine I even filled in some holes with epoxy to add strength and to give the
ESC and Receiver some thing to stick to
So time to get some 3mm GRP and get me router out
Above bolt old Chassis to new GRP and away we go
Here I decided to make it a bit wider and add some more at the front side pod
not to bad hey
do I like the colour ?
well it looks kind of weird
Now you can see the link arms have more chassis around the holes so no weak points any more
Should have been like this in the first place
Well I might as well do the rear pod while I'm here so I beefed up the rear pod as well
Hmm a visit to local model shop and time for some sticky back plastic
( and a pair of Val's old knickers . . . Get down Shep )
Wow now that looks better carbon effect sticky back stuff LOL
what's the yellow bit on the chassis you may well ask
Well its for the Marshall's if any thing is wrong you know where the switch is hmm
I think all clubs should make this Compulsory to all model cars its a lot safer don't you think
LOL right my last bit is the front end you cant alter the ride height so this is my idea get some
plastic or GRP in 1, 2, & 3mm thickness and make these
there ride height spacers and fit between the chassis and front end as in below
You will need some longer bolts if you fit more than a 3mm spacer
Well till next time have fun

Saw the chassis on Sunday @ Ardent and must say it looks more beefy around the weak areas of the chassis and rear lower pod!!
Nice work Gary
