Man, that is sweet. What made you think of doing that? It think it turned out really nice, it's those little touches that make all of the difference on a build like this.

i use to race r/c electric cars.
and i remembered how stiff the carbon chassis were.
that was my inspiration for this.

i used carbide burs to cut lightening holes and drum sanders to shape.

it is a very rigid assembly.

I just bought one. I haven't recieved it yet. I like the idea of a reliable <2 lb battery.

They are very compact. I'll figure out how to package my electronics, once I have it.

Hawxter.... which linkage are you using for that arm? I have a SP1 arm that I'm planning to bolt up and obviously need to figure out the linkage... I figure I can use the RV stuff, and swap out my lower shock mount to fit that linkage (I have a penske shock) or make my own link, and stick with the Hawk stuff...

curious to know what you wound up with...

I thought the SP-2 arm was the one that fit (SP-1 has a larger pivot shaft diameter?)....

Yes Sp1 has a larger pivot bolt... I'm either going to swap bearings, recut the sleeves for the bearings, or press tubing into the sleeves/spacers to make up the difference... I wanted the SP1 due to cost and a .4" shorter length than the SP2. Right now I'm a caliper, and the "custom" parts short of bolting it up. It looks like it will also need a shim on the front sprocket to line the wheels up properly.

I bought the material which is 1/8 thick at McMaster-Carr.
