Revised Meshbase 1 Profile Completed

Venom has now finished tracing out the modernized shape of the classic Meshbase 1, featured on cars such as the NASA Hellfire, Cheetah High Voltage, Stairclimber Exellis, and Pitz Paper Wasp. Easily the most potent racing platform ever developped, this base is still in high demand; the NNV Carver and Pitz Wasp are to be built on it soon.

Updating the base was necessary, since its last use was when it had evolved into a squared-off, computer-based design and these profiles have since been lost (and also fallen out of fashion). The new look is designed to capture the stylistic flare the original base infused into the Hellfire and High Voltage. The arches are once again curved, but more smoothly than previously. The inside arches have a radius of curvature of 9mm, which is the same as that of a dime, providing ample wheel clearance and promoting a curvy, dramatic styling for cars built using it.

Venom is moving forward to build 8 copies of the profile (pictured in sketch form below) out of Mesh 2 material in order to complete the 2 finished bases for NNV and Pitz. Updates on production progess will be posted.
