standfast's 2 seat design
Well, I am starting over on a new build. Going for a 2 seater that I can play/race with. I am designing this one to accomodate for as many off the shelf parts as possible while maintaining a somewhat simple design and easy to build design. Chassis is 1.25" chromoly, suspension is 1" chromoly right now. Does anyone know if 1.25" is accepted in the race orgs? I gotta look into that. If not I will bump it up. I have the front travel at 23" right now. It is gonna be setup with the ability to run bypasses along with the coilovers. 82" Track width, 99" WB, 129" OAL. Still gotta work out the rear suspension but constructive criticism is welcome!
 Except for the one smart azz telling me it needs rear wheels! hahaBTW the rear is gonna be STA's with the pivot axis angle built into the rear transom so don't have a bunch of different lengths of tabs. Last edited by standfast; 09-26-2008 at 05:19 PM. |

Re: standfast's 2 seat design
Yeah I had a 2 seater already but I am gonna do it all solo on my own design this time around to fit my own requirements. I really liked the other car but I feel like I can do better. We'll see what happens.
I have never seen 1.75" on a class 10 car I don't think but maybe??? I am sure Kfab knows. Last edited by standfast; 08-06-2008 at 12:02 AM. |

Re: standfast's 2 seat design
Yes, strait from the SCORE rule book.
If you put a real A-arm on it, you can shock boss through the cross tube tieing the whole structure together better.  I would do the same to the rear mount on the bottom arm also. |
