New Section Added – Contributed Galleries

Here at www.robobugs.net, I love to see models built by others. I have added a section called Contributed Galleries so I can help you share your photo galleries with others. I would love to see your creations and will happily add them to this site if you send me some information.

RC10 Real Racing Tube Chassis Solidworks Project

RC10-Tube-Chassis-Complete-Prototype-Side-View

Way back in the late 80’s, a small company called Real Racing introduced the Tube Chassis for the Gold Chassis RC10. It was handmade and there were to be approximately 375 made, but the actual number completed and sold is probably rather low. It is an extremely rare find for the avid collector and only a few examples can be found. My project is to create a similar style chassis in an advanced 3D CAD program called Solidworks. Using this drawing, I want to construct a few actual chassis and possibly sell a few. For now though, this project sits unfinished as I work on finishing my new garage which will have a small shop area for metal fabrication.

My drawings still need a few more pieces. Body panels will be need to be designed as well. For now the project is stagnant, but hopefully I will find time to execute a few nice builds. Check out my latest progress HERE.
