|  MSD "Ute Chassis" Prototype.........
Here's the start of my 1.9 build for the Montana Scale Nats in 8 days. Got the newest prototype chassis from Unimoger at Montana Scale Designs, with all the trimmings. This chassis is designed to be the most universal scale chassis to date, working with virtually any axle/tranny combo available. It's also set-up to run either leaf springs or a 4 link suspension set-up.  Projected stats: MSD Ute Chassis MSD 1.9 Rock Solid aluminum beadlocks MSD aluminum axle C's TLT axles RCP aluminum knuckles and rear lockouts Axial tranny RC4WD 1.9 Rock Crushers Hitec 645mg steering servo Hitec 645mg winch servo Stock 27t motor Super Rooster (old school)  Here's a few pics right out of the box. The chassis, bumpers, shock towers, standoffs and wheels are all powder coated flat black. I just started assembly, and the fit and finish is awesome so far. I'm very impressed by the quality of the whole package.  Last edited by BENDER; 11-16-2009 at 03:04 PM. Reason: Apparently I can't add. |

Guys, watch for a ton of prototype builds of the new MSD " UTE " scale universal chassis, they should all be hitting the board very soon. The chassis is available in 5 sizes of WB 10" 11" 12" - this prototype build 13.5" - for crew cabs 14.5" - for crew cabs looking good so far Bender, you work fast |

This is one of the sickest scale chassis I have seen to date... The bumpers finish off the sickness to make it even sicker... Great job Ben on the design and you have my address Brad Love, BD |
