Not to beat a dead horse but the other day as I was working I saw a screw fall out of my laptop. It is a flathead screw but it isn't tapered. The thickness of the head is somewhere around 1/2mm. You would have to use locating pins but it might work alright. Still doesn't address the manufacturing and cost of it like we discussed. Still a cool concept even if we never actually see it.

It was probably also an M2 thread and didn't have much load on it.
MTC2 chassis had a lot of nice machining. If they went to a steel chassis with some holes to get the right flex and weight it could be doable. I guess we'll see in like a year or so, LOL! |
Any news about the car ? Release date ? Anything ??

Will there be a new FF? Thanks

This car looks great. Seen it first hand at worlds. Think it would be a great car to wait on of looking for a new tc car.

you can easily run a 1mm chassis. you simply design the bulkhead to have a tapered initial entry hole for the screw that matches the screw head angle. the screw head acts as a self centring screw similar to those used on the awesomatix bulkheads and shocks. the screw sits partially inside the bulkhead, meaning the screw head can sit flush on a 1mm chassis. being high tensile carbon steel the risk of the screw ripping through is highly unlikely. this may be also why awx have not released their steel chassis yet. if awx is running 1mm steel chassis's, it may require different bulkheads, considering steel chassis are expensive this means a retail cost for the steel chassis with bulkheads is not cheap, maybe half the price of a kit! (steel chassis alone in low numbers costs like $300aussie to make, about 200usd) |

It's easy to do but it leaves very little material engaging on the countersunk head. Screws could pull through in a crash.

Whats the advantage? Or the screws are small enough to use with a thinner chassis?

Its being developed but yes ... thinner chassis with out the worry of material to capture the screw heads.

well good news with the new balsa wood chassis is that you can just use Elmer’s glue to glue the bulkheads once the pros use it everyone will follow like lol
