Default Failed homebuilt chassis ~ lets see 'em!

Lots have tried, and most likely more than a few have failed. I know I've got a handfull.

Post 'em up so we can all get a laugh.

Here's "das boat". Cool concept, just never could find a good way to wrap the frame. Now hanging on the wall.



Somewhere I've got pics of my first super chassis. Gonna have to dig deep for that hunk of crap...lol

How about "modifiying a Nylint" yea, used to do that... Had a good chassis with Nylint axles and STOCK 1/18 electronics... go figure

Pics are long gone though...

245 views and only myself and one other have the balls to own up to our failures. I'm disappointed. :?

well i tried to make a trailer without hangers.
well it had hangers but they were jbweled to the
bottom of an old amp case, and not really hangers :-( lol



then i actually tried to make a chassis (which wasnt too
bad ) again without proper hangers, and ones that
were welded to the chassis



embarrassment.

luckily a couple of guys helped me out and i didnt feel
quite so utterly pathetic.
