Mine will be rigid and fit nicely under the body and will be milled in spots to lighten it.

If I were to draw something up could/would you consider carving a chassis for me or others who would want a one off chassis of their own design? What would you charge to do such a project?

A oneoff chassis would be pretty expensive due too the time in programming before actually machining the chassis. I like to due minimum of ten items so price is resonable.

I made this one and cut it by hand. The chassis is very nice but a bit heavy (1/8” think). :D

I designed everything in CAD before making it, and I have some other designs planed for future projects. PM me if interested and we can talk about it.

That looks good and 1/8 inch is what i thought about using but it would be milled in a bunch of spots to lighten it.

if you can make them just like the team car graphite chassis (only thicker) that would be great.... id like it not milled cause milling just makes mounting electronics a pain

It woud only lightly be milled and in spots where mounting wouldnt be affected.

Hi all.
I have my Durango Prototype Aero A-1 / A One nearly ready for sale. Additionally enough duplicate new spares to make another car (i may do if i have time to build the additional car) This was raced at the Euros 2009 and made the C finals driven by John Spencer (a.k.a. Spenny) from the U.K. my chassis isnt ally like red one pictured, but mine does have team ally parts on my prototype.

my flea bay seller i.d. is; the_silver_spider

i've had a saved search for 'aero a-1 / a one' for over 3 years on flea bay and one has never appeared for sale.

only a limited number were ever made, so these are very very rare.

thanks
