Looks like an old Edge chassis from TCS.

yeah i tried to copy the edge chassis, but that was kind of hard to do. and I had a few mistakes in building it but I looks pretty good I guess so i think the i will finish building it and get everything on it and see how she crawls before I try to rebuild anything. but i need to decide what axles to run on it?

just ordered the axle housings for the xr-10 to put under my tube chassis. I have been wanting a moa rig for a while now. can;t wait till they get here and i can get the wheelbase all set and measure for my shocks.

I got my xr10 axel housings and putthem together(still need the gears inside) but the links that i ordered aren't going to come I got a call today form ckrc crawlers and they said that the red bent axial links have been discontinued. so I just got arefund on those and came home and built my own links out of 1/4" aluminum rod that i had. so Iwill drill and tap the holes in them tomorrow I hope. and will hopefully get the axles mounted to the chassis. so when I get that done I will see if I can post up a pic or another vid for you guys.

I like the chassis design. did you weld that together, or is it brazed?

it's welded, it's actually made out of solid 1/4" steel rod so it's a little bit heavy. but if I can save up enought money to get a tig welder I would like to build another chassis just like it out of aluminum.
