|  MSD UTE Prototype Re-deux After MSD Nats and the D90 body I had a few changes on the brain for the UTE. Benders chassis worked really well with the links and I wanted a little change up for this build.  Low and long were the order for the new build and a Subaru Brat was the body of choice. Long and Brat don't go together so I put it in the Styrene stretcher and added a lil bit to it. For now some teaser shots as I get more done I'll add progress shots. Wife said to paint it old school so the leading thoughts are Rootbeer and Tan. Prolly going to have a friend cut me all the masks for the Brat logo's etc.     Last edited by Difuser; 07-08-2008 at 10:31 AM. |

| Oh forgot to add the front shock and spring were off a Duratrax Mini Vendetta. Was suprised the rates seems to be pretty close we'll see when it is RTR. The rear is TLT with the Vendetta spring. There were 3 rates I got all 3 and the stiffest Dk Green seems to be the ticket. Thanks for the compliments guys Will be a little bit for the next round but got the building bug again for this thing. |

| Not to rob your post, but what happened to those chassis? They were supposed to be available after the Nats, then a month or so again, I was told about a week, and still nothing. |

|  Here is the pic I am working off of for color inspiration right now. Graphics are a year or 3 off but I think they look the best for the font.  UTE Chassis, Last I heard Ben has the chassis parts out for powdercoating. This was about a week or so ago. Stu, pantablo and Fufu coming from you guys that is a real heads up.....

| very nice. i have a brat body i want to do a scaler with, and i have been running into the same issues you did, brat+long= NO-NO.... i can't wait for the utes, i am really glad to see somone making a scale frame for guys running short bodies. i also like the idea of using links for a brat scaler, being that the original 1:1 brats were 4 wheel indy suspension, and this basically looks like someone just took all of that off and stuck it on an old truck frame....
