I hope that's not true, shims are so much easier to get quick even adjustment changes than trying to measure exactly how far you need to slide something.


anywhere where there’s a slide mechanism replacing a shim it has a measurement hash-mark similar to how you do your adjust your diff cam tension marks

it's easier than that. Robert would turn a couple of screws and the upper arm is adjusted.

I forgot to add that the chassis is 1 mm thick

1mm made of carbon steel. Heavier and stiffer than aluminum chassis.

Wonder what they'll use for fasteners? M3 FHCS have a head height of almost 2mm?

I imagine a custom screw similar to what Xray did

I hear ya, but, 1mm is REAL shallow

Since it's steel... magnets?

I feel like 1mm spring steel is unconfirmed. 1.5-1.75mm is easier for my mind to accept as probable.

Looking forward to actual pictures. Still love MTC2.

1mm chassis thickness would mean knife edging in all countersinks holes, stress hot spot. 1.6mm is probably the min to avoid knife edging.

Specs I've seen for 110* FHCS was still a 1.3mm head height for an M3

You can transfer part of the c'sink into the mating part. Lot's of extra machining but not a big deal for a prototype part. Every thing I heard about the steel chassis is that may not be offered to the public. I heard various reasons but the most common was that I wasn't easy to drive and that it's an expensive part to make. So IDK but I wouldn't do too much thinking about it as it seems like an extreme solution for the average person.

I can't remember whole but someone still had carbon chassis during the worlds and I think it was Sam Lituer. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Keeping a 1mm chassis flat during the machining process would be difficult.
