Ripper/ Axial Clone?

[sherbs]

As I could never spend 9,999.00 on a true Ripper I'm curios if anyone has seen a clone frame/body panels being made that are close? Thinking it would be nice to build a Axial based Ripper wanna-be.

That's a particularly hard one to match. The Ripper has a machined aluminum "tube" chassis that, as far as I know, hasn't been done by any other manufacturer. It certainly takes a whole lot more machining time and involves a lot more wasted material than just about any other part in the rc world, which is why it costs more than a house in Detroit.

If you'd be content with a better than average Chinesium chassis, the TFL Unicorn kinda has a similar look. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/tfl-unic...buggy-kit.html

Like stated above, nothing will be a ripper

But these are the closest production chassis i have seen to a 4400 car and are very good quality. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LNL-HPM-140...-/303441493301
Here is Crawlnyc build on here with one. As close as youll get i think. crawlnyc no skill U4 build

That is what I'm looking for. I am going to stick to State side at this time due to shipping issues in China. Broke down and ordered the LNL, hope it arrives by Fall!

That's the idea. I want just a chassis as I have a Origin Limited donor.
