So I thought I'd fool around with doing a Dynamic style chassis on my resin printer. Would this be considered scratch building??  :crazy: ...I've done about 4 or 5 designs and come up with this one to test. I'm assuming one good wall shot and it will explode but I have to start somewhere,right? I'm thinking of doing a much wider style basic chassis with narrower pans next.

Here it is built with a pieced together 26D in it. I have a Serpent repop body for it's maiden run so that's why the goofy wheels on it.......

Some members on the Home Racing World board have been experimenting with 3D printed chassis & using various materials for increased durability. If you get the chance, see if you find anything there that might also help increase the durability of yours. I'm not into 3d printing myself so I have no firsthand knowledge that will help.

Paul, that looks great! And while I don't know much about resin other than it has a lovely finish, I do know that once you have your models perfected, you can have them printed in PA12 which is super strong.  Shapeways is back in business and could print it for you.
