Scratch building an aluminum chassis
#14

Thank you for that, it is really good to know as I had been wondering about it as any offset on the gear was causing binding and limited the setup.  I had not thought for tilting the motor to solve this.  Learning every day.

As it is, I am quite limited in options for parts if I want anything other than Plafit parts I need to order and wait for shipping from Pendleslot to Japan.  It has been a challenge for the Prius as also has a very narrow body.

My chassis is much higher at the front than in the rear to accommodate the Plafit guide, which is rather chunky.  This put the back of the chassis just a hair above the track which was a concern... until I realized it is just aluminum and so it went into the vice to get a little bend put in  Bigsmile

Just curious, have you used this method at all for a sidewinder setup
