|  The "BB-51" Scale chassis Well guys here it is, the long awaited, re-designed and ready to rock " Barnyard Buster Scale Chassis " It is now the BB-51, re-named for new design and innovation. It is not only a scale chassis, but it will actually compete in an event and preform amazing. We were contacted by microgoat, the original designer and asked to take over the project. We did and have made many improvements and design inovations. The chassis is precision laser cut and cnc machined to perfection. it is cut from 6061 aircraft aluminum, it will have a machined finish unlike anything you have ever seen, it retains the ladder frame design and c-channel rails. It is capable of running leafs or 4 link, your choice. It features a black delrin center skid plate / tranny mount. We will pre-drill the skid for your choice of trannies, losi, stealth or pede. The cross rails are also aluminum, it has multiple shock mounts for straight up scale look, or inboard, comp ready style performance. We will be offering as bolt on accesories in the near future a front stinger with winch mount and LED lights, a rear stinger and tire carrier and funtional rock sliders. All will be direct bolt on for this chassis. It will also come with Bender's link mounts for front and rear axles. The chassis is also now designed 60/40 with the availablity to run 11" up to 12.5" w/b with minimal changes. it is the most versital, easy to build, original scale chassis on the market. There is over 2 total years of design and research and development of this chassis, it just may be the last scale chassis you ever buy. There will be 5 builds hitting the scale forum very shortly, names like, rbgerrish, badger, microgoat, mtwrench and myself, unimoger. Price will be $199.95 shipped priorty mail in the lower 48 states with link mounts included. PM me for details, pics to follow shortly, STAY TUNED! NEW PICS on page 4 thank you MSD SHOP Last edited by Unimoger; 06-21-2006 at 02:35 PM. |

|  Thank you, Ben. I'm glad someone took on this HUGE project and made it actually happen. You all remember the Barnyard Buster, and now you really have a chance to buy one. The original interlocking design remains, so the BB-51 is as solid as the original, but more performance-oriented, with revised shock locations, either inboard or outboard. It ain't cheap, but it's a work of art. Better than that, it's a work of CRAFT. Once you see it, you won't want another chassis. |

| HERE is the first teaser pic guys, frame rails are symetrical both sides. This is the right side, so the front of the chassi is to the left of the screen. This is my 3D cad drawing. I will post the real thing shortly, stay tuned.   |

| When you drive like I do, you have to build a strong chassis Buster will take anything you can throw at it. The link geometry is as solid as the platform, so it crawls as good as it looks. I did my homework, and Ben went over it with a red felt-tip pen. |

| Just remember the date on this thread: The Barnyard Buster scale chassis The original scale ladder frame is still the best. |

This pic is not as good as they are in person. the edges are all smooth the sw-2, but we wanted to keep the SCALE look of a 1:1 frame with the sharp c-channel and ladder frame design. It is a little lower and much more stout than before also. | |
