Shapeways Spotlight, Mini-Z Subchassis V6 - Audi R8

Yet another astonishing, custom crafted mini-z product that can be found on Shapeways! very interesting to say the least and worthy of sharing with everyone, even if to provoke conversation. if you haven't already, i highly recommend searching shapeways from time to time just to see the stuff people care developing. there is some cool stuff going on out there. who knows, maybe each of us can print on demand manufacturer parts in the future making discontinuation of parts a thing of the past.

today's spotlight

Mini-z Subchassis V6 - Audi R8
From JesseT

About this Product

A motor mount, rear suspension, servo bottom plate and Audi R8 body adapter in one piece designed for the MR03VE Mini-z. It is designed to use a PN-racing brushless motor, and a tri-damper rear suspension. The design incorporates the provision for side dampers from either Atomic (shorter) or PN (longer). The only configuration is middle motor with 97mm-99mm wheelbase. The wheelbase and motor position have eccentric adjustment that provide easy gear mesh adjustment with a very securely locked motor. Excellent for 126dp gearset and high power motors. No guarantees are given for parts fitment, and some parts might need fine trimming. However, the design has worked flawlessly in testing. Enjoy

Looks nice.
Does it use a regular T-plate?
What are some of the advantages over a stock VE chassis

At the left bit older version that can take any motor but needs PN reconfigurable pod and some custom parts. At the right I believe is V6 chassis.

I think JesseT (whos designs these are) will make a small writeup here and give you a better idea about these. But I can just say that tri-damper equipped JRP link-subchassis and JRP a-arm setups have dominated our fastest lap boards and races for a while now.

it would be a pleasure to have JesseT provide some insight on the product, design etc.

i would like to know what parts are needed to accompany the underchassis (rear suspension). it's relatively inexpensive so worth a try.
