Code Name Jefferson

[PinchFlat]

NOW TAKING ORDERS http://www.utrcrc.com/products.html

Here at UTRCRC Labs, our crack team of scientists have been secretly testing and tweaking a TLT/Pede based 2.2 crawler chassis since March of this year. Some of you have seen it, most haven't. We are in the final testing phase of this chassis and the most resent LV crawl was the first comp these chassis have been entered in… We think it is a winner. As are all the UTRCRC chassis, it is a competition specific chassis based on the same principles that made the v2 and the vPrime such great chassis.

The UTRCRC Jefferson’s* features include:
• Trendy lay-down transmission for that stable low center of gravity.
• 4” shock compatible so all you cheap SOBs can buy t-maxx shocks on ebay for $12.
• 12.5” wheelbase**, so you cheaters can’t push the limits of the maximum wheelbase rule.
• Aluminum construction for that tasty alumaliciuosness. Mmmm, TASTE IT!
• Servo/link-mount platform for ease of triangulation.
• Second servo/link-mount platform so you can cheat and hook up 4 wheel independent steering.
• Ultra wide track** for incredible side hill stability. 2.2 clods are shivering in their boots.
• Utilizes much of the actual TLT-1 hardware**… Yes it does, REALLY
• Includes a list of all the, easily obtainable from you local hobby shop, goodies you will need to complete your UTRCRC Jefferson* 2.2 competition crawler.** Links and all.

Until now UTRCRC has exclusively produced clod based chassis, so at this point we have not decided whether or not we will manufacture this TLT based chassis. Yes, I’ll post some pics when I get off my lazy can and shoot some.


*Jefferson is a working title of this new chassis. It may or may not become the official title of this chassis, so please refer to the title Jefferson with utmost reverence. For tomorrow it may be gone forever and you will feel guilty that you treated it like you did and cry yourself to sleep every night feeling shame for your disregard and utter rudeness towards the title Jefferson. Eventually it will become too much to handle and you will decide to end it all and do yourself in by driving to Kansas to visit Dirk at 2:30am and scream from his front lawn, at the top of your voice, beckoning Dirk to come out and play rc crawlers with him, therefore inducing his lovely wife to sprint from the house and converge upon you, killing you with a pair of rusty safety scissors, singing the whole time, at the top of her lungs, the theme song from Friends.


** Set-up sheet will be included. For best results you must fallow this recommended set-up.

Sounds Great! What the heck does it look like? :lol:

Does it come with link's?




I can't wait to see it!!

hehe... Like a crocked vPrime... kind of.

It will be compairable to the other great tlt/pede chassis out now.


Does it come with link's?No, but links should only cost you less than $20 from your LHS.

[Plays_with_Toys]

Can't wait to see how you guys did it. With so many TLT chassis' out I wonder if mine would ever have a place. You guys are definately on the leading edge of crawling technology, so this chassis should be pretty darn sweet.

[Got Rocks?]

dang it now i know what chassis im gettin so i can kick your @$$

*Jefferson is a working title of this new chassis.

If it were me I would call it, "The new Utahard from Utrcrc"

[Got Rocks?]

If it were me I would call it, "The new Utahard from Utrcrc"
or the "mormon"

[PinchFlat]

If it were me I would call it, "The new Utahard from Utrcrc" :lol: The UT-2.2-tard

[k9popo]

Sounds great pinch, are you going to have it down at the comp this week???Let me know the price. I rather support the fellow Utards anyway...;-)

[Ace]

Is "The Weezey" next? :flipoff:

Can't wait to see the chassis...

[sean_lv_crawler]

I have seen this chassis compete, a very capable chassis! *That is all i am going to say*

I would definately buy one.

How soon do you think it will be in production?

[spooner]

hey PF you saw my stock truck and know that it digs nice holes but i'm looking for a real chassis so i can try to run with these Desert folks :-P..cant wait to see how much i need to ask mama for..

opps sorry i meant "DD":lol:

[DirkDigler]

I was looking at the moon last night in my telescope and I saw one of these chassis fly by.

BTW I just posted a video of the Las Vegas Crawl this past weekend. The Red and Silver 2.2 and the Zerbra 2.2 are both the Jefferson chassis. So go check them out in action.

[PinchFlat]

Can't wait to see the chassis...

I guess the Weezey can be a chassis for a TXT.. hehehe

[PinchFlat]

As far as price it should hit around $75. this includes main chassis (side plates and skid) and 2 servo/top-link mounts. and all the info and part #s to complete the crawler.

As far as when it will be available... PM or email me if your interested matt@utrcrc.com Until I can get with my local machine shop I can hand build chassis like I do with the vPrime.

Silly me........ I was looking over at www.utrcrc.com

Thanks, I'm headed over there to take a peek right now!

OK here is a pic of one of the Beta-B (Weezey) prototype Jefferson.
http://www.utrcrc.com/misc/jeff.jpg
Just a few things about the Jefferson.

The Jefferson is designed to run wideners. The one in the pic (beta-b) has inetrc wideners (total 1 1/2" wider) with narrowed HPI Split 5 standard offset rims and the not pictured beta-a (George) is running blackfoot axles in front (total 5/8" wider) with narrowed HPI SS Monster fronts? (the deep dish ones). G-made wideners will work with the chassis also.

Both the Jefferson A and B are running bullet packs (for stability) but you can run a standard pack over the front servo if needed. (yes I'm running 4 cells. 6 will fit fine.)

[NaZ-T]

Dang that is the sweetest name for a chassis........were did you come up with that? whoever thought of it must be a genius..........he he he

[moonbuggy]

pics no workey

[PinchFlat]

Yeah I know... my web host just went down... they said it will be back up within 24 hours... WTF!!!! 24 hrs... A$$ hats.

[shortbusjeep]

i think i would be in for one

[Highmark]

Vury nice, I'd hit that.

[spooner]

ok i just ordered mine...:D...can't wait for it to get here and get things going...
No real rush Pinch..

Great.. thanks. I have ordered the aluminum and will be cranking out a few as soon as it comes.

[Brandon]

Any more pics? Im interested in it because I like its wider stance, and I assume it has a laydown tranny design that fits within the side plates? Thanks

[DirkDigler]

are you still using the kitchen knives and sand paper to make these?
Also, are you using the home made sand paper, with the fly paper and aluminum shavings?
I'll take one if you are still using this orginal method.

Yeah the trany fits between the the side plates. I'll get some more pics up soon. We have a comp tomorrow so it will be after that at least.

I'll take one if you are still using this orginal method.Yes i am. BUT I did get that new Guinsu I have had my eye on for quite some time now... cuts like a hot knife through buddah. Oh and I swithced from aluminum shavings to used kitty litter works awsome. You get the grit from the litter and lubrication from the cat turds... it's like wet sanding... almost.

Hmmmm......
It sounds good but I'll wait until the first batch comes out to hear what others say about this new method. I'm a traditionalist.

[FrankyRizzo]

I think your email filters me out.

I have sent emails to you and no avail? I wanted a chassis.

I think your email filters me out.

I have sent emails to you and no avail? I wanted a chassis.All my emails seem to have gone to crap. And... last night the server went to crap so mayb that sit this time. You can try them all: matt@utrcrc.com or matt@ds411.com or matt.davis@zeroz.biz or even mattd@dentalselect.com (this one I can only get Mon- Fri though)

[FrankyRizzo]

Sent an Email to all of them. Maybe one will stick.

[sean_lv_crawler]

I can't wait to build it and stomp on Kenn and Jeff in January! haha

I highly recommend this chassis to everyone! Way better than Benders :flipoff:

hey PF, does it matter how low or high the body is mounted? will have the body mounted this weekend and painted i hope...thanks for your help...hopefully i can give you a run for next weekend...:)

[PinchFlat]

hey PF, does it matter how low or high the body is mounted? will have the body mounted this weekend and painted i hope...thanks for your help...hopefully i can give you a run for next weekend...:) No not really. The lower you mount it the more trimming you may need to do but the lower CG you will have. I usually prefer a low body but it ends up trimmed up alot.

Looking forward to Bouldr city. :)

[EeePee]

Got the goods, thanks Pinch. It looks great.
