______________________
Introducing the latest Chassis specifically designed with the builder in mind and that box full of spare parts you have laying around just itching to be used. The Chassis is designed around a 78mm inside rail to rail spacing. This allows the widest possible use of parts from popular brands like Axial, Traxxas, and Vaterra. Many other brands may fit but the parts have not been specifically tested.
Adjustability is the key. You will note there are a large variety of holes on the skid and front/rear of the Chassis. These spacing for all of these will directly match up to stock skids, bumpers, bumper mounts and even servo mount(with a little creativity). I've used parts from an Axial Capra, Axial SCX-10 & 10.2, Vaterra Ascender, and Traxxas TRX-4 to map many possible combinations. Some parts will require inside the rail chassis spacers to achieve attachment at the 78mm spacing.
This particular design allows a great building platform for a class 2 or 3 trail rig. The chassis is cut from 6061 Aluminum and weighs just 3.6oz according to our scales.
I have built this chassis for a standard 12.5in wheelbase but can be customized to shorter or longer wheelbase depending on how you build your truck.
THIS CHASSIS IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT ON FOR ANY PARTICULAR KIT.
This is a builders chassis, expect to fabricate parts, adjust/make links, or trim parts to achieve the desired build.
******** Options Guide *********
Note: If you don't see something you need, feel free to messaged us on Facebook. We can design custom parts and produce them for you at the cost of printing and machine time. If you can print them yourself, there will be a $10 one time fee for simple designs. Complex designs requiring more than 2hrs will design at $20/hr
Printed Parts
There are currently parts designed for 2 inside chassis rail widths: 70 and 78mm wide. The chassis is designed to be widest at the skid (78-80mm) and either 70 or 78mm in the front/rear as desired. When altering widths (Pinch), make sure you select the appropriate part labeled with a 70 or 78mm to ensure compatibility. Part without a width designation will work with either width.
The V1W M1 removes the need for the printed rear shock hoops.
