What is needed to install this engine?

Status: offline 		Finished the chassis!! counter sunk and all, not machine perfect but It's one of a kind and I like it!


GPM 3mm aluminum chassis weight. 155g or 5.5 oz


My CF chassis 88g or 3.1oz


Nice 2.4oz weight reduction
The chassis is 3mm CF, still very stiff even with the cutouts!

I was gonna try with 3mm but seemed too flexible and I was planning of not doing any cut outs.

Though I will say it will probably not survive a big crash like aluminum will, but it's just a cool project and was fun to make

It's surprisingly stiff!
I might not even use it on the car it took so long to make, it's precious to me now lol

I was so close of doing it but all these conserns came to mind. When I was gonnado it I was not making any holes but for the flywheel. When I grabed the 3mm material and twisted it it will flex a bit do left me wondering if I should use 4mm.

Well let us know how it works out and bi the way you might have to add weight to the front do your tires can get some grip. So this is the cool part about weight reduction you now can add weight to where you want now.

Status: offline 		I will need some wider spacers or maybe a thin plate to sandwich the chassis in for motor mounts.
It does have flex in my hand, but I don't think it will have a problem holding up a 3.2lb car.
I'm thinking it takes about 7lbs of force from my hands to start flexing a bit
We shall see how it works out soon. It's just a high speed car going straight lol

I use to race with a guy who ran with a CF Main Chassis on his Super Nitro. This was several years ago, but he raced with the chassis for 2 years under some extreme engine conditions. The only knock was you had to watch how the engine was cooling. Other than than, there were no real concerns. Yeah, you hit something hard enough it's going to crack, but the goal is to stay off things that don't move . I have one on one of my cars, but it's more of a show piece than anything, if I would have had a chance back in the day to try it, I would have in a heart beat.
