So I have been playing with the idea of adding a couple more tubes to the back of the Anklebiter. If you were to replace the back half of a 914 with tubes where would you put them? Here is a rendering of the original cage (red), drivetrain (Grey), and points that need to be tied in (green).
What would you do? Attached image(s) |

Are you still in school? If you are you should grab a copy of SolidWorks and model what you are building. Then you can use the integrated FEA software to mess with tube sizes. Its quite easy to use (and there are some great tutorials about building tube frames in it on Youtube), and would really help you out with choosing tube size. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
