About this 3D model

Hi there again! Probably some of you got interested in OBTS Chassis when you saw it can also work as an On-Road Chassis with the Tesla Model S Body. Please, take a look to this chassis with the Tesla Body in action in this video Tesla Model S is 296 mm wheelbase, while standard Drifting / On-Road cars use to be 255 mm. If you use the parts in this publication you will build a 295 mm wheelbase On-Road OBTS Chassis. This publication includes a 3d printable Straight Variable Length Center Transmission and also a 3d printable Locked Center Differential. The same way you can use 3d printable MyRCCar Shocks, Motor Pinions and 12mm HEX for the wheels to save quite a good amount of money :) Most of the parts in this publication are just a selection of the ones available in the OBTS Chassis publication. The 295 wheelbase is achieved using a 145 mm Front Partial Wheelbase and a 150 mm Rear Partial Wheelbase. The 150 mm one is a little longer than 200mm... This can be quite a little problem for you... maybe it is not. I built this chassis with a 6º Caster in the front axle and 0º in the rear one. The Center Differential Housing is in the "centered position" this time, so all the central transmission is aligned and the space for the battery is reduced. I use a new "Low-Profile" Butterfly in the front because of the shape of the body. This allows using 60-70mm from hole to hole shocks. I'm using Mission-D CVDs in my build, but I also designed it and share the parts for HSP 102015 and 122015 CVDs. Mission-D CVDs are extra short and I'm using special 3d printed wheel HEX to put the wheels as far from center as I can. The holding system for the body is quite simple and can be 3d printed mostly in PLA but I think this time the body won't resist much hits. I didn't hit nothing seriously with my Tesla Build, but I feel the day I hit something the body will break quite sure! This time I'm not going to enter in so much details but anyway I'll try to provide some info about the different parts of the build. Lets go! Universal Platform You will have to print and assemble the main chassis as a start point. You will have to print the next parts: 1x MRCC_OBTS_UP_W15_FB_145 1x MRCC_OBTS_UP_W15_FT_145 1x MRCC_OBTS_UP_W15_RB_150 1x MRCC_OBTS_UP_W15_RT_150 1x MRCC_OBTS_UP_SERVO_HOLDER 2x MRCC_OBTS_UP_BT_TOWER30 1x MRCC_OBTS_UP_BT_HOLDER160 To assemble this parts correctly you can take a look to the original OBTS Chassis Publication. Your battery can be as long as 160mm but only 42 mm wide to use the standard battery holding system. I plan to design a box to solve the problem for bigger batteries, which would be inserted in vertical, the second larger measure of the battery aligned with Z axis we could say... Differentials This parts are also common for any OBTS build. The simple center diff housing must be mounted in the centered position. You will build a 6º Caster front axle and 0º Caster Rear axle. 1x MRCC_OBTS_CD_BOTTOM 1x MRCC_OBTS_CD_TOP 1x MRCC_OBTS_CD_ADAPTOR * 1x MRCC_OBTS_FRD_BOTTOM_5104 1x MRCC_OBTS_FRD_TOP 1x MRCC_OBTS_FRD_BS_0C 1x MRCC_OBTS_FRD_BS_6C 1x MRCC_OBTS_FRD_LAS_0C 1x MRCC_OBTS_FRD_LAS_6C 2x MRCC_OBTS_BUTTERFLY_Med If you want to use little longer shocks in the rear axle there is space enough so you can use the Normal Butterfly if you want there. The same than with previous step, you can use the original OBTS Chassis Publication as a guide to assemble this parts. Steering I reduced options in this publication to make it easier to understand. So The supplied steering parts are for 5x10x4 bearings. 2x MRCC_OBTS_ST_PIVOT_5104 1x MRCC_OBTS_ST_TOWER1_5104 1x MRCC_OBTS_ST_TOWER2_5104 1x MRCC_OBTS_ST_PLATE 4x MRCC_OBTS_ST_BalljointExtreme_Normal 2x MRCC_OBTS_ST_BalljointExtreme_Medium or Small To build the steering links and servo link you can use Normal, medium and small Ball-joint Extremes with M3 screws of proper length with the head cutted. Remember you will need 6x 4.7mm Balljoints with M3 screw to use this links. Suspension Most of this parts will depend on the CVDs you want to use, so print the ones for your CVDs. I plenty tested the Mission-D CVDs and the wheels (61mm diameter) can perfect steering under the Tesla Body. I also tested The 475 Lower and Upper arms with some adapters for my CVDs. The position of the wheels with this arms is about 10 mm outer, so it can hit a little with the Tesla Body when full turning. Maybe you have to "sand" a little some parts of the front mud-guards of the body to have the best steering. 4x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_LA375_ONROAD (For Mission-D CVDS) or 4x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_LA475_ONROAD (For HSP 102015 or 122015) 4x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_UPLINK_KIT_SHORT 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_CHUB_ONROAD 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_FSBLOCK_TYPEA_ONROAD (For Mission-D CVDS) or 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_FSBLOCK_TYPEB_ONROAD (For HSP 122015) or 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_FSBLOCK_TYPEC_ONROAD (For HSP 102015) 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_RFBLOCK_TYPEA_ONROAD (For Mission-D CVDS) or 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_RFBLOCK_TYPEB_ONROAD (For HSP 122015) or 2x MRCC_OBTS_SUS_RFBLOCK_TYPEC_
