that's looking fit, what's it gonna be like finished (shapewise?)
like this with wheels, its a monoque chassis
oh cool so did you cut it all out of plate steel and then weld it all together?
I believe all material you see is hardox.Originally Posted by daveimi
Yes, those forks are 80mm of solid hardox 500.
thats awesome
Solid hardox wedges! it must weigh a ton ! :shock:
Looks pretty indestructible
Are you going with planetary gearboxes built into the hubs of the wheels like some of the earlier versions of Tanto had?

Going to watch this with interest
The whole chassis is 46KG so not quite a tonne, its only 60cm long 36.5cm wide overall body is 10cm thick
Although its not very pleasing to the eye, it's been designed by the numbers. Lots of calculations for mass, density and so on have been done to find balance points, centre of gravity, deflection angles etc
We are using the hub wheels as before, but slightly differently you'll see in a few weeks
finished version should look similar to this
