Nope, holes are big...

This thin of material along with using kit screws requires the bulkheads, motor mount, etc. to be touched with a 90 deg countersink and a small amount of material to be removed.
It doesn't really hurt anything but not ideal to be honest. I might do another using the thinner head ARC screws.

The screws AMX use are just called a "Low profile" 3mm CS Screw. You can find them around but they arent typically as good of quality as the amx ones.

One way is to buy a chassis and take a good photo. Upload to a CAD software and draw out the shape by overlapping the lines on the photo. Then make sure everything is to scale and double check measurements with a caliper.

I used to use my old high quality Lexmark flatbed scanner when making smaller parts, especially in my RC heli days, with a lot of flat carbon pieces. Never did a full 1/10 frame. But I'd imagine it would fit in scanner.

I use my fingers to measure then check it on a ruler then use the dimensions from the ruler.

Asking the important question: are you planning on selling these or it's just a personal project?

I havent even tried this myself so its a bit early to sell them. Plus after putting the car together with the chassis there are some other things i want to improve/tweak. If all goes well maybe I will. keep you guys posted.
