|  * MSD " UTE " Scale Chassis Kit * MSD is proud to announce the official release of the MOST universal scale chassis kit on the market. The all NEW MSD " UTE "  We have been testing and working on this amazing chassis design for almost 1 year.  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.Each chassis size can be altered up to 1.5" of WB in either direction. We did this so that we could accommodate 100's of different aftermarket bodies.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. 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. 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.  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. 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 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. 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. Axle's and kits that we have used with this chassis:- Axial - TLT - Losi MRC - Tamiya Hilift - Tamiya Hilux - Tamiya CR-01 Here are a few builds for you to look at: MSD shop truck " JK " *** MSD " UTE CHASSIS " Jeep JK Shop Truck Build Bender's 1.9 all MSD build: MSD "Ute Chassis" Prototype.........

| Jeep " JK " body and UTE 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. |

|  I think UTE is an Australian term for Utility... like the Ford Falcon UTE. 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! |
