**TEN24 | K-Lab - NEXUS & VORN**
Two projects, one shared platform.
Been making some more progress with our chassis development, and thought it was time to show where both projects are heading.
*NEXUS* is our modular RC drift chassis conversion, built around a 6mm 7075 aluminium U-frame and interchangeable 2mm carbon fibre mounting plates.
The nexus in the image shown below (low batt) you can see its currently wearing yokomo front and rear plates it is currently on its third prototype revision, with the latest changes focusing on mounting accuracy, fitment and refining the overall design.
*VORN* takes that same U-frame architecture in a completely different direction.
The plan is a transverse front-motor, rear-wheel-drive chassis, using a conventional pinion and spur to drive a jackshaft, with a belt transferring power to the rear differential.
We've started developing the gearbox housing and a new raised carbon battery tray, with the aim of sharing as many components as possible between the two platforms.
There's still a lot to work out, particularly with VORN's drivetrain, but that's half the fun of developing something from scratch.
NEXUS is getting closer to a complete test-fit prototype, while VORN is only just starting to take shape.
Two different approaches to RC drifting, built around the same foundation.
