Default Discontinued?!

Ok Im really pissed right now... I wanted to build a Pajero, using that frame its like a cc-101 frame? And I find the Toureg has the same frame, so I go ok.. so I order it, and Tamiya has the balls to call me up and say "We're sorry thats discontinued" So what other vehicle has that same frame? I need to find a frame like that whether its here, ebay, tamiya.. whatever.. Can anyone help me out? :-(

The front axle on the XC chassis is a IFS

Solid axle blows, hands down IFS has been proved to be better over and over.
Look at every new truck being made.. See a SFA? nope. IFS can flex just as good, rides better, lasts longer, costs less, and is better for trail rigs, and Im building a tral rig

Surely you are joking, right?

I've got no reason to be joking, thats why when I got my Toyota truck I got an '86 it has IFS, so does my Mini-T, and XXX-NT, Also I sold my Tamiya Bruiser to Snook, I freakin hate SFA's

Then what are you doing here? Damn near everything we do involves a solid front axle, for numerous reasons. They will out preform any IFS rig on the rocks.

AHH.. but you are making a trail truck, so as long as you don't hit too many rock gardens you should be fine.

I'm with him 100%















For High Speed..IFS is good. For Rock Crawling it's not.
