DL-Roll Cage

Weekend, chilling music, and a boost of creativity - awesome time to try something I always wanted to do. This time it's a roll cage. Made from 5mm brass tubes. Light and stiff. It's not the best soldering I've done though, but it's the first time I make a cage. 


Now I need to figure out, what body I want to put it in and what color to paint it.

Digging deeper: ARD CER steering mod V.3.1/ Suspension Mod V.1

This idea of customizing my chassis caught me. Now I can't stop. I just hope it's all for good.
As I shown before, Alex is now rocking a full Yokomo front suspension. So, what has been done?

Digging deeper: ARD CER steering mod V.3

I missed out on V.2 modification. Basically I wanted more lock, so I just widened the steering rack with a new custom tensioner plate. Nothing interesting.
But recently, i found that trimmed plastic C-hubs and plastic arms tend to flex a lot. And therefore, I have more play than I could. So I decided to swap my front Suspension for DIB one. This is functional, expensive, and it is RED!!!
Still, I need 4 bearings, new longer camber turnbuckles, and a TS plate to extend the knuckles.  A few more DIB parts are to come, like shock mounts f.e.


The steering geo is so wrong in this picture. Let's hope I can fix that efficiently.


Red, Stiff, awesome. Never mind the weird turnbuckle.
