Re: Started in Autodesk Inventor
Looks similar to Chris's Active Power chassis.....

If you use your current C5 donor parts it will not be too bad but there will be compromises...but it will be a fun exercise in patience....enjoy

Chris is a super guy and may well be willing to help you out as you are using similar componentry to his chassis...or even sell you plans etc etc
