Last I checked, this is 2011, and there's nothing in the 2011 USRCCA rules making it illegal.

This is their AX10 chassis. It is completely different than their berg or XR10 chassis.

Thats ok,but He can point you in the right direction if you want to set one up for your AX-10. We have a comp this sunday at The Crawl Space in Beaver PA. you should try to make it out.

So, there I was this morning, admiring the lines of the Rockshow SS on my berg, and looking at how I'm just not as big a fan of the Moonbuggy cab on my sportsman. Well, what should I do about that?

So, I decided that I'd cut a new cab with the moonbuggy lower shap and the Rockshow SS cab design. So, I started cutting. I trimmed a bit here, and a little there, until I had what I wanted. It didn't seem quite right to simply mount it to the same existing lower chassis, and have 2 sets of chassis rails from front to rear. So, the next step was to cut out a new chassis and trim off anything except for what is needed.

So, here's the results.

Looks good man........we are working on a similar design for the new Sportsman chassis but that will also have a version to allow for bodiless.

Thanks, Andy.

I'm glad to hear that T1e has things in the works for the AX10. I think the shafties are going to take off pretty big within the next year.

Glad to hear he's going to produce them again. No one comps around here, but I like a good chassis option for the AX10. IMO it's the cheapest crawler to run. Mild to wild, they can do it all (if your pocket book will allow).

Thanks, Shelby.

Your shafty BJ was one of the things that inspired me to run a more modern looking chassis.

Very nice Carey.... I wish I could make it Sunday. I did the xr steering on both of my #1 customers ( d71phair) shafties. I clocked the C's a little more and ran the drag link behind the axle. I still needed to put the steering arm up front but it does allow for some extra clearence.

Ryan,

That looks great!

What did you use for the rings that you have on the original c-hub location on the axle?
