uhm that a strange setup of the screw… is it solid ? it looks like it’s kept in place by the nuts on the gaps…

Extremely solid - overkill
Extremely solid - overkill really. The joints are stronger than the surrounding acrylic as they are mechanically 5 times as thick.

are you using the tamiya
are you using the tamiya double gearbox ( 4 speeed ) ?

Actually, this one is
Actually, this one is designed for the Tamiya 70097 twin motor gearbox with two speeds. I’d have to get a four speed box in my hands and check the dimensions, but I think it’s within the design limits and space constraints to convert to the 4 speed box.

cool

i love the design

The plastic chassis
That chassis rocks. What plastic are you using, whats the price and where do you get it from (UK preferably)? I’ve got access to a laser cutter at school but I don’t think they’re gonna give me plastic for free…
