Cool.

 

The middle torsion pc. just like the F1.

 

Speaking of body movement, I'm surprised that most of the F1's Rick Davis and Bud have built still have that 2010 feature..

 

I would of thought that someone would of tried a more conventional shaker mount.

I have already tried BRP Z-Rail on my Gerding king G13, but it is F-1 chassis with a Chicagoland 1 inch wide barcket.

It ran very well but I crashed the car onto the bank wall because of bumps on the straight, which we will fix next week, hopefully.

All the motor shafts are cut shorter according to the motor-brackets by Nobu Hanada.  So I asked Bud to build 4 x F-1 chassis with Hanada motor-brackets. I will test the chassis after we fix the straight bumps.

Please stay tuned,

Here in Tokyo, Kamo-san is developing IRRA F-1 chassis.

 

Their nose-piece & rear-plates are just cut by the sculpture machine:

I took an older single .062 JK D3X25R and made another "Inside Out" chassis as pictured earlier.

I added another piece of wire in side the front uprights to restrict side play.

I also added tension wires to the rear stops.

Nice to see you taking ideas from all over and blending them into one frame

Thanks guys :) I'm working on making my builds cleaner lol. Usually I end up changing so many things while building a new design that removing all the solder is just a pain. I had a set design for this one, so it is pretty clean.

Now, THAT'S now to put that wire-bender to good use... a Z-rail without solder joints; AWESOME!
