  • BARC 10 Chassis

    I have been working on many chassis designs, but am settling on the following design. I have built both sidewinder and inline pods for this chassis. Wheel base is adjustable using a plunger type set up between the pod and the chassis plate. Adjustable rod inserts into wheel block and is then held with a retaining screw. To set the adjustment length you can CA the rod or drill and insert a screw.

    Picture is an earlier version, but is a good example of why I added bored tubes to allow piano wire to be inserted in the chassis to prevent sagging.

    A complete new guide Flag has been designed for a work around 3D resin strength. Guide is slotted to allow credit card plastic to be cut and glued in place to work as the guide. Guide post is a long 2.38 mm screw that sets in the guide. I will Post pictures of that as well at some time. Also on display in the picture is the 3D printed front tires with a groove to accept an o ring. This presents well on the model as it looks like a full tire but has all the benefit of a zero grip QUIET front tire

      Nice work, Dan. I love the variety and innovation that 3DP allows. Well done.

        That is a good looking design and really like the front tire idea!
        Very cool!

          Good Design dan , if you wanted you could insert a peace of piano wire on each side of the central pivot for some torsion , just a thought !

            That does look good. It does look like the chassis is sagging a bit, might have to add a support rail maybe?

              Great concept! Adjustable chassis are the way to go. Any chance you can make a version with open rear axle carrier to allow for snap-in axles?

                Depends on the material. I have yet to find a resin that does β€œsnap” well

                  The picture is of an earlier design. I have since added bored tubes along the length of the chassis that will accept 2mm piano wire to prevent this sagging

                  If look closely at the CAD drawing you can see the bore in the side tubes

                    Aaah........Fogot you were doing these in resin. I have some "ABS like resin" to try but I have not tried it yet.

                      I used the exact same centre pivot/chassis stiffener for 12 months, now moving away from that towards Thunderslot 3 point type pod.
