cut list for new chassis
 

hello everyone,

first time builder here...

so I've sored my dona car - I'm not turning my attention to the chassis

does anyone have a cut list. primarily I'm looking to know...
how much (length) chassis steel i need?
how much seamless tube do i need?

if I'm going to looking/asking for stuff i need to know how much i need.

thanks in advance for the help.

thanks
Dave

A Handy Andy Flatpack would be a good start...all cut at super accurate angles all for very little more thatn you could buy the metal for !!

Welcome to the mad house Dave,

Can't help with your question.

Where abouts in the big wide world are you?

Just remember this one thing, we love pictures of people's builds :D

They might prove helpful.

Good luck with your build and keep us posted (:) / groan!) with your progress.

As previous post id recommend a flat pack chassis, for the time spent/money spent on raw materials i dont think its worth the bother. unless you get some weird kick from hacking steel up! :)

Ive a handy andy one and am chuffed to bits with it. Although Talon does one too.

Cheers Will

brilliant replies - does these people that offer kits also do it for wish bones?

Far more satisfying to buy the box ,cut it and do the lot yourself
it takes a little longer and you get the right steel .
but will definitely take you a bit longer to do
but the choice is yours
cheers les g

I can do you a deal on a flat pack chassis and wishbones.
Chassis can be supplied in either 1.6 or 2mm ERW which includes the suspension brackets, basic plates for a rolling chassis and an ali rear tub. The wishbone kit has laser cut front plates, machine profiled tube ends and the bush tubes are rough bored to size.
