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.

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.

Re: Ty's Metal Works

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.

Re: Ty's Metal Works

Thanks man it is much appreciated.

#1 is primed with panels ready to go and #3 just about there.

Re: Ty's Metal Works

Ty's Metal works will be closed from July 2nd to July 10th. I will start taking orders again when I get back.

Have a happy 4th of July everyone!

Re: Ty's Metal Works

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

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

You have any Quality photos of the work you've done in the past or just those camera phone pics?

:flipoff:

Good stuff sir, loved the Taco Time truck in a NWSC.

Sorry just my 1987 photos. :ror:

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. :ror:

What about the running raptor?

That one was built for a buddy. It was a one off and roughly 100 hours of work. I could possibly make another one, but the price might be what some would refer to as "silly expensive". :ror:

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

If you would like to pursue a custom scale chassis on one of those platforms I would love to hear your ideas and working out some logistics. "thumbsup"
Feel free to PM me and we can start working on the details.

I have made three of them in the past. So...

I can potentially, yes. PM if you would like to talk more about it.

Re: Ty's Metal Works

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.;-)
