here is the timberwolf from rc4wd. looks to be on sale

Timber Wolf Scale Crawler Chassis

then the wreakluse from rcp, and it looks to be on sale also

*****The*Wreckluse*Tube...

both are a good start for your class 3 rig. if you can't find any one to do a custom build for you for a fair price. these two rigs would be a good bet. both are priced fair I would think, any of the other rc4wd scalers are a bit more I belive, but they do have them in artr forms as well. then you can add what you want to them to get more scale points that you would need to run in a comp.

Gotta agree with Chris, Broncos with tons of tube give me boners.

Was going to just be a reproduction of our 1:1 but might be my C3 rig (Ftoy), if not it will be a early bronco. 2nd picture was with 1.9 claws, but now running 2.2 rip saws

my opinion, 1/4" will look to big, but it's yours! most everyone uses 3/16", it's more to scale

If your gonna buy a pre made chasis,i would go with a wrekluse as oposed to a timberwolf.they are a better built product.imo.and u can cut and weld,change thing around and kinda give it your own flavor.its a real good platform to start with.
