Building the Rocketship Chassis (Fabrication Process)

[@SB-Studio]

Finally!!! I want to see more videos about how the assembly and design process happens. And also introduce the viewers to your team, I want to know more about these cool guys!

[@WideOpenDesign]

Thank you for watching, we are working on that currently!

[@JohneeB]

Great stuff! I am looking forward to the road/drift version too!

[@DonnieRoebuck]

It just keeps gettin' better...now to see the most recent Rocketship in action.

[@WideOpenDesign]

See ya this weekend

[@ScoobieSwisher7413]

This is the video I've been waiting for, thank you. Building the flagship Rocketship and pairing it with Wes is definitely moving along it seems \M/

[@WideOpenDesign]

We love the Rocketship chassis!

[@onthetopracing]

Nice video! Love seeing the detailed stuff and how it comes together! Good call on slugging those rear bump tubes, curious how it holds up.

[@WideOpenDesign]

We are curious as well. The purple one and this one have it. We shall see.

I know it’s for off-road but I like to see a road / drift version

[@WideOpenDesign]

That is so funny you say that... there is some cool stuff coming up for you!

@@WideOpenDesign I'd love an indepth xplain of the suspensions, sideways expecially. I'm trying to learn the secret sauce for Baja like suspensions, like speeding through bumps and potholes with the chassis staying dead flat. Would be super interesting to see what you'd change in the setup from rock crawling to rallycrossing to tarmac. My ultimate goal would be to figure out how to design my mounting points to eventually achieve such a wide range of adjustability. On a thing half the sizes and 1/8 the weight and power.

at 5:15 , "this poorly designed area where high stresses go into the middle of a tube instead of to a node, we just make it solid." you guys are savages.

[@bonovoxel7527]

I actually didn't get how they fixed that. I would have re-cut and notched that tube in order to be welded at the upper node. They seemed to have sleeved the other one on the joint...or am I mistaking?

[@bonovoxel7527]

I can only admire people who builds stuff more badass than me (like...anyone with a welder), but the doors as shown... Can I say they're questionable, from a cage perspective? They interrupt the side crossmembers and althought they look cool... It's not the same chassis, on one of its most sensible parts (or it was overstrenghtened before you decided to have doors, idk). I'm only learning from you Sirs :) I'm subbing! Just seeing interrupt the side X bars left me perplexed. Wondering if there will be something as sturdy and fixed to the main tubings, which eventually would impede one of those doors from crashing inside in case of a bad flip/roll. Should i buy it I'd go for the original. Less weight. ;)

[@WideOpenDesign]

We appreciate the input. If we thought the chassis a strength problem, we would have never put doors on it.
