* MSD " UTE " Scale Chassis Kit *

[Unimoger]

MSD is proud to announce the official release of the MOST universal scale chassis kit on the market.

The all NEW MSD " UTE ""thumbsup"

We have been testing and working on this amazing chassis design for almost 1 year.:shock: We believe that it is the most " UNIVERSAL " scale chassis to come to market. It can be used with almost any axle combination. You can use Bruiser shackles, hilift/ hilux shackles, stock axial 4 link set up, leafs in front or rear, 4 link in front or rear or a combo of both."thumbsup"

Each chassis size can be altered up to 1.5" of WB in either direction.:shock: We did this so that we could accommodate 100's of different aftermarket bodies."thumbsup"

The front shock mounts can be moved to several locations for best axle fit. The rear inboard shock rail can be moved up to 3" to accommodate many wheel bases and bodies."thumbsup"

With 5 different chassis lengths and 4 different suspension options and unlimited axle possibilities, we feel anyone can create an amazing scaler with the " UTE " chassis."thumbsup"

The word " UTE " is a Australian word, meaning Universal. That is the term they use to describe most of their flat bed 4x4 pickup trucks down under. 8)

The Chassis kit comes as basic as 4 cross rails, delrin skid and 2 c-channeled and cnc'd side rails. The whole kit is assembled with 3 mm stainless hardware and is 100% interchangeable front to rear and side to side. "thumbsup"

Options include:
- Scale front or rear upright shock mounts, $15
- Scale inboard rear shock mount, $10
- Scale front bumper " W " style with winch fairlead, $22
- Scale Rear bumper " W " style , $16


All accessories are CNC machined out of aircraft grade aluminum, no plastic parts here"thumbsup"


Chassis sizes and prices:

- 10" WB basic kit, Overall length 14" 7/8" , $65
- 11" WB basic kit, Overall length 15" 7/8" , $69
- 12" WB basic kit, Overall length 16" 7/8" , $75

- 13.5" WB basic kit, Overall length 18" 1/8" , $79 great for crew cab builds
- 14.5" WB basic kit, Overall length 19" 1/8" , $85 great for crew cab builds

All of the parts come in flat black and are machined finished to perfection. All skid plates are NOT predrilled so that the builder can customize it to whatever setup they desire.8)

These will be on our site very soon, if you would like one sooner, please email us at:
info@montanascaledesigns.com

As We said, We think you will find this to be the most universal scale chassis kit on the market, we hope you guys enjoy them as much as we do."thumbsup" Axle's and kits that we have used with this chassis:

- Axial
- TLT
- Losi MRC
- Tamiya Hilift
- Tamiya Hilux
- Tamiya CR-01

Here are some pics of the 12" WB chassis next to the New Bright " JK " body that is available in many stores now. The WB on the body is 13.5" but we wanted to TUCK the frame under the body. With the most universal scale chassis, the WB change was simple."thumbsup"

I think UTE is an Australian term for Utility... like the Ford Falcon UTE (http://p.webwombat.com.au/motoring/car-photos/ford-fg-falcon-ute-4-big.jpg).

Never the less... it's an amazing looking chassis! Will the skids be offered as pre-drilled for specific trannys(AX10, R2)? Looking great Ben! "thumbsup"

you may be correct on that, that was what the locals told me when I was there, sorry about that.;-) here is a pic of what we are thinking of, toyota ute in Australia.

skids can be predrilled if need be, just send us an email with your order.;-)

hey Mike, the 10" wb model should work for you. there's 1-1/2" adjustability in the wheel base. might have to cut the rails to fit in the body-that'd be the only issue I would guess you'd have.

You should have make it out to Vasquez today. You could have seen mine and Difuser's in person..."thumbsup"

[Difuser]

Talk about durable. Pablo had me on lines that beat the poor Brat to death wel not quite but she is looking a little worse for the wear. Great time yesterday Pablo. Looking forward to Montana you ARE going.....

And how wide is the chassis?

[Unimoger]

X2
And how wide is the chassis?

Thanks guys, here you go,;-)

Chassis outside of rail to outside of rail is 3" 5/8" perfect for leaf sprung:shock:

bumper width is 6" on the dot 8)

hope that helps.;-)

[pantablo]

X2
And how wide is the chassis?
chassis is 3-1/4" clear inside the rails, 3-25/32" outside to outside rails. I didn't mic' it, just measured with ruler so its as close as I could get.

[edit: it was probably 3-3/4" outside rails before powder coating, which adds a slight thickness]

[constantmotion]

Exactly what I was looking for....Thanks

[Rpp Hobby]

Looks really nice "thumbsup"

I've been looking at these and must say I'm impressed!

I am building a scaler (HiLux), and have most everything figured out but the chassis...

What wheelbase should I get the chassis in to fit a repop HiLux body?

I will be leaf sprung in the front, and 4link out back

clods crew cabs I've seen end up about 14" wb. Either the 13.5 or 14.5 should be good as they all have a fair bit of adjustability. The 14.5 will give you more frame under the bed. That will probably look more scale than one that is a bit short.

"thumbsup"

[PANDAbox]

Any possibility of pre-paying for 12" kit and accessories? Thanks Ben

[axman2010]

Ok so I need a chassis with a 10.5" wb so should I get the 11" wb chassis and just have the axles set forward and do a ton of body trimming or should I do the 10" wb and try to stretch the wb with longer links? (of course I mean when you have more in stock.)

Can you feel the loooooooove tonight.......





Can't wait till the next batch Ben.. Going to set 2 of those chassis on fire! :shock:

[smm_cbf]

good job,its basicly a upgraded version of the diaz dtrail chassis.

[exesivefire]

Having both sitting here in my shop...

I can honestly say upgraded is an understatement.

Maybe in shape (but really how many shapes can you make the frame in)

But the quality of the MSD kills the old Dtrail, and at a fraction of the cost!

Its like buying a Cadillac for the price of a Civic.

[smm_cbf]

......

[TxCruzr]

Lets see, try building a frame or buy one of these, hmmm....let me know when they're back in stock ;-)

[MDcrawler72]

Looking for a chassis for a stock F350 hardbody.

Do you know when they will be in stock?

Thanks, Steve

[TxCruzr]

[Redrum]

Lots of people here must be having 'spam filter' problems based on previous posts??

Quite honestly, you are full of crap Ben. When you finally replied to my initial email you were added to the 'Safe Senders' list. No excuses.

I have one very vauge email from you in reply to my initial, which proves you recieved my email. You only took the time to send a reply when prompted by me in this forum. In my email I acknowledge that you were out of stock and I merely wanted a total so I could secure one on the next run. I am a network consultant by trade, there is NOTHING wrong with my spam filter, dont give me that crap and stop lieing to people in a public forum as you are only making yourself look bad.

Your lack of honesty and diligence as a trader on this forum is very concerning to say the least.

I hope for everyones sake that you make a conceded effort to improve your customer service, from what I see you produce some VERY nice products though I would not know as purchasing them seems impossible.

Dude, you need to relax. I had the same problem with the email going to my spam box but just today, I made an inquiry, got a response from him, confirmed an order, and sent out payment. All within a 2 hour period. Just try again and inquire, he has chassis' available now.

[Redrum]

I dont need to relax at all, I've watch him pull this exact same stunt with lots of other members in this and other threads and find his lack of service and constant deception deplorable.

Regardless, I am seeking truthful answers from Ben, not a public debate with other members and as such this is the only one I personally will entertain.

Over to you Ben.

[mactech]

:shock:Unimoger I to send an e-mail and not if you received it.
My osder was:
1-* MSD " UTE " 12" Scale Chassis Kit
The kit includes Scale front or rear upright shock mounts and Scale inboard rear shock mount?

You do need to relax, Ben does this as a hobby to help us out, he doesn't make a lot of money off this stuff, and jumping on him isn't going to make anything better..

Ben has always done me right, an I would put my personal name on the line for him.

there are other members on here that take your money and stop talking, trust me I have been there. If you are waiting on a shipping quote for something that doesn't exist, I can guess that shouting and making a scene is not going to get it faster..





Just looking at rates, shipping could be between 20 and 45 bucks...

[Basile_le_grand]

Hi Ben,

I don't like to contact you here on this forum but, it seems it is the only way I can catch your attention.

As I told you in my last 2 email, on February 20, I sent you my payment for a complete MSD UTE Chassis + 4 MSD 4DYCE Beadlock. On March 9, I sent you an email asking you if you have shipped my parts and your answer was 'yes'. We are now 12 days later and I still haven't received my parts.

Did you really shipped them ? When ? Do you have a tracking number ?

You almost billed me 50$ for shipping for a USPS Priority International shipping. At that price, I hope you have a tracking number ?

Can you please answer me and give me some anwers. What happened ?

Thanks
Basile_le_grand

Hi Ben,

I still haven't received your email.

If you have a tracking number of any other information about when my parts were shipped, can you please post them here.

We do have a spam filter in our company and I don't know if it is the reason why I didn't received your email.

Thanks

Please confirm you've shipped Ben, it can't be that hard to check... how many UTE chassis did you ship last month to The Netherlands...?

If you haven't shipped and can't ship either please refund, I feel like begging for 4 months now and although your chassis has been (and still is) my nr. 1 choice this is becoming more and more a mission impossible :-(

I am looking to get a 12" ute with all the trimmings soon, but I have a quick question on a order for some scale bumpers I placed 3 weeks ago and still haven't recieved the parts or even gotten a email on whether they shipped or not. Could you email me or pm me with an update on them? The only reason I haven't ordered a chassis yet is that I am still waiting on the bumpers...

Thanks, John Roginsky

I've tried twice now to place an order for a UTE 13.5 chassis, but each time it stops in the payment stage saying "this order has been payed for".

I'd like to get it coming soon, can you please look into this?

Thanks,

EDIT....... Well, this time it went thru! 3rd times' a charm I reckon. :)
