MSE-6 Build notes
#18
Whilst away, I had a chance to do a bit of thinking about the chassis design.

Some earlier thoughts were to make the chassis from sheet fibreglass but the outer shell on the lower section is plywood the same as the top so my initial experiments have been with aluminium and ply.

I had some worries over the shock absorbers not been strong enough to hold up the ply shell so I've got rid of these, it might be a bit of a rough ride but it should be ok, I might try and incorporate some rubber to act as a shock absorber.

So the rear gear box and wheels are attached.

   

   

   

I think the back wheels are sticking out the correct amount and I'm happy with the look but I'm not sure if the wheels could do with being a little bigger!?

   

Front wheels next!
