They do tend to be a bit more expensive, but they're also higher quality and a fair bit stronger as the hex screws tend to be made of better materials. For example:

McMaster #91263A537
vs.
McMaster #90273A247

The hex head is lower quantity and higher price, but higher tensile strength and astm rated.

Nice. Thanks for the info. =)

I have to be honest, they look better as well.

Playing around with a fun concept 3lber design that may move toward creation after Moto-

Kinda looks odd without the belt, though. :P

Vortex Inducer was one, this is not the first one, but an uncommon IRL design.

That will be awesome if you build it.

The support struts on the center beam for the VS look rather fragile though. Maybe you should cut the front corners on the chassis and beef those up a bit.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #509 on:** January 07, 2011, 12:42:29 AM »

The whole center part is likely to be welded 4130 steel, so strength should be decent.

If you say so; you know more about metal properties than me. They just look kinda thin.

get rid of the wheels and make it gyro walk =P

I just figured this was appropriate

Working on another beetle concept, chassis is 1 piece waterjet cut 6061, 1" thick

IMO, if you're powering all four wheels, it's gonna be a waste of space. put all your drive on the back wheels and have the front wheels on axles, that way you should (in theory) have more space and weight to have a bigger disc and more batteries.

powerrave · « **Reply #517 on:** January 19, 2011, 04:07:57 AM »

in case of stability, i think the wheels would be good as they are shown there.

I like the Hazardish concept. :D
