Title: Hill shooter chassis
Post by: Honda863 on March 29, 2014, 09:56:11 PM

Hey all I've kinda been a lurker here for a while and thought I would share my new chassis I am building. It's going to be a +8 in front with a +12 swingarm single a-arm all built from 4130 chromoly. I am building the whole thing from scratch will post more as the build progresses. Let me know what you think, any advice appreciated.

Very cool!  Dual a-arm I assume?

Thanks, I'm going to try a single a-arm setup first, if I can't keep it under control I might change it two a double setup.

IMO you will want to keep the motor mounted as low as possible so you can keep the swing arm pivot bolt low and keep the swing arm as level as possible yet set the bike up with enough ground clearance for the whoops. The more level the swing arm, the less wheeling

Yeah I'm keeping the pivot point parallel with the front sprocket and going to keep as low as I can with the 25" tires I'm going to run. The swing arm should be fairly flat with the exception of a little suspension movement it will have.

Yea I have Cory's old chassis and it's still orange and white. I'm finally getting around to putting it on alky and would like to see what it can do with some tire behind it and have wanted to build a chassis for sometime so did some research and there's no better time then now.
