Ahhh didn’t know RC fasteners were 110 degrees. Where I work the majority of the fasteners are 100 degree.

Nah 110 isn't standard but it's doable. 100 is standard I believe and 82 is the next common thing. I'm a machine designer and when I first started I got drilled for calling out the wrong c'sink angle lol.

That's just the same type of screw that I already linked 🤔

Mike, Remember this is 2024-5, not 94-5

And we actually know nothing except hearsay in this regard.

Its an associated we’re talking about, just like Chevrolet door hinges everything could be bonded, wouldn’t that be a crapshow!

It’s all just guesswork, so imagine the worst. Then you’ll be surprised

It's for those who will say so and so company is copying xray or so people won't over think the screws.

[QUOTE=malkiy;16143639]Keeping a 1mm chassis flat during the machining process would be difficult.[/QUO,

Grinding down with a machine?

Though if you did that you'd waste a lot of raw material.

I was talking about grinder for final thickness
as any person who work as machinist know what I am getting at
beside it would be too expensive

If they are carbon steel chassis might end up on an episode of forged in fire. Some Damascus forging business

Yes, you are talking about a surface grinder, and on those you can grind it down to less than a papers thickness as the steel plate is held on with an electro magnat.

I’m not a materials expert but I would guess you could prevent deformation during the machining process by picking the right pre-heat treat process and alining the grain direction.

For steel you heat treat after, and that is based on requirements. Same for all steels. I am not sure they are going to spring for steel billet over a CRS or HRS sheet material, that cost is way too much to waste away as a simple chassis plate.

I'm a firm believer a good machine shop can easily machine and hold tolerances when using steel. If you're turning the material into beacon, means not enough cooling for the speed they're trying to run. The blanks can be cut on a waterjet to remove a lot of the excuse material and then finish on the mill to eliminate the heat created.

I think these are expensive because they were one offs and the companies didn't do full production runs that get them the great pricing. But I wouldn't think too much into these chassis. Everything I heard about is that they're very edge. I'm going to assume the flex charaterics need some testing before they are even offered to public. Ryan Maker said they're essentially a consumable because of how easily you can damage. Hara said the same thing. IDK about you guys, but I don't want a chassis I gotta replace after a decent hit.

once again, I actually picked up the car for about 2 to 3 minutes on two separate days at the worlds and the first question I asked was how thick is the chassis I was told by the person who designed the car that it was 1mm., visually it is thinner than 1.5 mm. Chassis is shaped similar to the AMX and get this………..the rear arms don’t connect to the chassis
