This is the building process of a GS-Racing STORM PRO with all pro's and con's found.
 |
For this STEP 15 we need
the chassis. |
 |
And it is a nice one. It is milled out on several places to
lighten it. The place where the front and rear gearbox are placed there is
also a large square milled away. Unfortunenatly the gear boxes itself are
not lowered to make use of the mill out and to lower the weight of the
gear boxes and so the Center of Gravity (CG). I suspect that the normal
STORM SPORTS car uses a standard chassis and then GS have to make two
different gear boxes for both cars and that will enlarge the costs. |
 |
The kick up in the front that is standard for all cars
produced nowadays. |
 |
The place where the engine will be mounted is also cut out
to achieve in combination with lower engine mounting blocks a lower CG.
Unfortunenatly it gave some problems further in the building of the car. |
 |
The bottom of the chassis with the hole where the fly wheel
comes through is nicely shaped to not to rub on the starter wheel. |
 |
The mounting holes for the engine screws are nicely milled
out too. The extra slot is there to reduce weight and give extra cooling
to the cranck case. |
 |
Take the two tube from STEP ?? and fit them to the chassis
with 4x12 m/m counter sunk screws. Do not use thread lock yet, just
tighten them lightly as we have to check for best fitting of these
steering poles in a later step. |
 |
Now take the front lower suspension arms and four 4x15 m/m
counter sunk screws. |
 |
Fit from the bottom the RIGHT side with two of the 4x15 m/m
screws and use thread lock. |
 |
Now fit the LEFT side and use also the 4x15 m/m screws. Use
thread lock. |
 |
Take the rear lower suspension arms and also fit them to the
chassis with 4x15 m/m counter sunk screws. Use thread lock. |

chassis. |
