Building the Chassis

Our chassis is made entirely out of aluminum 6061 square and rectangular tubing. The components necessary to bolt the wheels to the chassis and calipers were sent out to be machined. Overall it was designed to be as stiff as possible while also being light weight. 


 Here you can see Mike and Nick cutting all of the aluminum tubing to the correct lengths and angles.

 All of the components placed on top of the wooden mock up chassis.
