Seems like doing a 310 conversion (rear wheel drive only 410) would be good on the really high traction tracks but perhaps the front end needs more castor to perform as well as the 210? Didn't Jorn run a 310 style car for a while? Mostly on carpet perhaps? I think I will mess around with this idea once I upgrade to the V4

The plan is to offer these in a full conversion kit in the next couple of weeks. It will include the chassis, side braces, battery strap, rear brace, and all the hardware. The chassis is 7075 AL. The side braces and battery strap are CF.
I have enough material on hand to do 10 kits. Also working on some CF motor plates right now. Should be done this week!

Are the cf sides bolted directly to the chassis or are there risers in between? Can some of the screws be removed to tune the flex or will that cause other issues with bending?

The side braces are bolted directly to the chassis, and yes, the purpose of the placement of the screws are to adjust flex. I'll get some more detailed pics posted tomarrow.

What I want is a REASONABLY priced CF chassis for my 410!!!
The Tresrey chassis is far too thin and absurdly overpriced. Geez that thing costs almost as much as a new kit. I think a solid 4mm chassis would suffice so we could run the plastic side plates to keep the weight down.

The bman 310 would be awesome on high grip carpet/turf, or better on high grip dirt/normal carpet with a 210 front end.

looks like it was limited production and no longer available. PM Northy (I think thats his name) on oOple, he may be able to get you hooked up with one. I know that mold wasn't cheap so I'm sure they'd bang out one if they have a buyer. That said, I think it was around the equivalent of $300

Those of you who are machining parts, what are you using for your work? Commercial machines or hobby machines? I've been looking at smaller machines like the Grizzly to make things like chassis and such. I'm especially interested in machines that could be converted to CNC. I believe a couple of the Grizzly machines can. Please post links if you can Thanks!
Thanks!

There are so many different desktop CNC machines ranging from $400 to $800 that I was looking into when I was making triggers for paintball guns, and most of them would work well for RC.
Can't remember them off the top of my head but a quick google search for Desktop CNC should turn up several 3 axis and a few 5 axis versions. I won't say where on the arrrrgin' Internet you can find some of the softwares.
