just had a go and seems simple enough! cheers dude!

what wall thickness do people use when creating 3d printed monocoque chassis?

id prefer to go down the CNC cut carbon route but it requires a dxf file which ive found a little difficult to create whereas I can easily make a computer model for 3d printing.

It would be cheaper if you bought these and took the casing off: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__28554__OrangeRx_R615_Spektrum_JR_DSM2_Compatible_6Ch_2_4Ghz_Receiver.html they wouldn't fit in my design due to the dimensions and they fact they have pins! thanks for the link though anyway....

is balance charging really not worth it on a 2s antweight scale lipo?!

Doesn't matter! I'll just have to give it a go when the motors arrive

I haven't been clear, sorry! I'm planning to attempt bonding a small amount of plastic to the CF frame to act as the material to screw into to hold the lid on. Had a google and I think that using PVC with epoxy MAY work but we'll see. In terms of the wheels, I'd like to use a tight interference fit ...

Don't think the wheels have room for a grub screw! They are 18mm OD diameter and 9mm wide. Might bore them out to 3mm and put a little epoxy putty in there maybe to fit to the flat of the shaft? Will just have to keep working at it! Cheers!

Need a little help on wheel fitment. I'm using the Sanyo style motor with the 3mm output shaft and the wheels I've got have a 2mm axle bore. To get a decent fit, what would I need to bore the axle hole out to? I was thinking 2.9mm but wasn't sure? Also, what plastics bond well with epoxy? Cheers! Dan

Cheers guys. have ordered the motors already so im just working through the list. I need to create a DXF file of my chassis parts which i can easily do in tinkercad but i think that will create a file for 3d printing. Does anyone know of a very easy (and free) way to either convert the existing file...

Hey, Been sketching up my first antweight and I just want to run the specs past everyone to see whether im on the right track or not so here goes: *1 and 1.5mm bonded carbon fibre monocoque chassis/ armour - approx. 34g. May add a little 0.8mm titanium to the mix as well if weight allows with some h...
