| Ty's Metal Works
I have been making scale rock crawling chassis for several years now. I have also been selling them nearly as quickly as I make them, so I have decided to do sporadic runs of chassis I make for the public. The first run of chassis is the Raisin 2.1. This is loosely based on a 1:1 rig with some custom touches added. This is a run of 4 chassis all very similar with minor changes done to each one to keep each one unique. This chassis is designed around 1.9 tires and a wheelbase approximately 12.25" No chassis currently available. This is the first one completed. And a little small tire wrong wheelbase mock up. This is the second one: The third one: All servo mounting locations will not be drilled due to the variety of servo posts available. Pricing: Currently no chassis are available. Shipping: per chassis 15.00 shipped for Parcel post OR Per chassis 20.00 shipped for priority mail. Pre-orders: Pre orders are now being taken on the current run of chassis. Custom orders: Currently I am not doing custom orders, chassis will come in runs of 3 or 4 at a time. Build threads: The Raisin 2.1 (X4) The Star Wars inspired, mud boggin' StarFighter The Crawl Space Heep A couple of Raisins Rusty's Jeep Turtle's RC4WD Scaler Build Off Entry TW40 Runnin' Raptor Rally Rocker Little TJ Taco Time! Wyld Stallyn! A little Toyota named Scuba Tank WEEE! Rocker Just a clone, Unimog The Tuna Tunnel As the other chassis are completed they will be added to this thread. Thank you for your interest. -Ty Last edited by TURTLE; 10-14-2013 at 06:38 PM. |

Nice, I've always thought your work was top notch. I've forgotten about some of the amazing rigs you've built so this thread is a good blast from the past so to speak. But my favourite was scuba tank v2 and the fj40. Keep up the good work.

Any chance you'll do a run of the taco time buggy again?

| Re: Ty's Metal Works umm... probably not. That was a pretty material intensive build, plus the honcho cab, scx10 chassis, and bed sides it would also be kinda expensive. I would not say it is completely off the table, but probably not any time soon.

| Re: Ty's Metal Works Cool, I kinda figured that. I've built trucks and know the time that goes into it. I subscribed so I'll be keeping an eye out for a chassis that catches my eye.

Thanks Josh it was a fun rig, but the Raisin chassis is a better performing rig that is much easier to work on. Rok Out should be able to a test to that he has a Raisin and Taco time. Quote:
Chassis #1 is still available. Chassis' #2 and #3 are gone. Grab it while you can guys. | ||

I can imagine I just read through the build thread. As I looked at the pics and read the thread, I was like well maybe not lol. Wouldn't mind one based around either a f650 body or I just score a couple fast lane grand Cherokees. Kinda small but might make a nice 1.5er |

Was wondering if you could PM me a quote on a custom chassis like Taco Time. Maybe something less expensive but still has the looks. |
