    Default Royale RP31 CAD model

    I’ve been modeling up my new RP31 chassis so that I can verify suspension movements and shock lengths. Still a work in progress, still need to add some frame members but enough to place major components. The rear upright was especially challenging.

    Amazing replica! Probably very useful for current and future uses.
    When I did my homebuilt DSR I used PencilCAD but I didn't think too much about suspension movements since, as Colin Chapman is alleged to say, any suspension will work if you don't let it (think big springs and lots of aero).
    Good luck with the project.
