Heres some stuff I've been working on.

Tell me whatcha think...

Well I really dont care for the first drawing, even though it looks good but the second one is the shiznit

Do you plan on selling these bad boys? Approzimately what size would that be? Any custom sizes? What body would fit underneith?

I sure do plan on selling it. I'll give final measurements when it's complete.. I'm going through a rebuild with it right now. But it'll be a 1 10th scale size.

pretty sweet lookin

Yeah second one for sure. Already a ton of chassis kits out there like the first one.

I vote that you try and get the second one to comp approved tuber dimensions!!

Maybe the same layout, but I like to think mine is somewhat original. :-P Hehe.. The first one is the Trouble Maker 4.. It's the result of much testing and crawls great. Though I'm a firm believer that it's more about the driver, but this thing setups beautifully.

As far as the second picture goes, I've changed it quite a bit last night. I totally changed how the ribbing and the front end look. It'll be stronger. I'm quite excited to work on it and I wish I was home now working on it.

PaulEZK · 07-10-2007, 08:37 AM

Does anyone have any suggestions on the second design? Feel free to draw on the picture and post it.

The first looks great, when will you be sending me mine for testing?

Lets see a resume.. And what could you provide me. An unbiased write up? And maybe some tech space? :-)

Hehe

I can do most of that, everything I talk about is straight from my experience, if it does not work good, I will say that, if it works good and is good quality I will say that. If thats not good enough I don't know what is.

Totally.. On the flip, I'm glad somebody finally posted they like the TM4.. :-p hehe

Thanks

Like everyone else I say the second is awesome. Not for a crawler but with mounting locations for a light bar and a spare and I say it looks like an awesome baja truck. I would put one of the silverados on it. I think it looks amazing. I would throw some axles on and a mamba maxx with a 5700 and go to work. I think it looks awesome.

Hehe, thats the exact idea.. The roll cage will have a spot for a spare. Also it's funny you mention Silverado.. Because thats the body I used for reference.

And further more, the body I will be using as a lid once this thing is finished.

Wow, actually both of those look pretty sweet, and for different reasons. BTW, ygpm.

Watch for a tester thread coming up soon for the first chassis..

montereycrawler · 07-10-2007, 01:32 PM

Very nice. They both look great.

My only comment would be,,,,
On the comp chassis maybe the top most corners should be more rounded. For those who use side mount body posts the sharp corners will tear up the body from the inside when the rig rolls over and compresses against the chassis.

thats a good point round the edges more that would suck to have a nice painted and have the chassis scratch off the paint after the first few runs but other than that they look great

I realize it doesn't reflect it in this picture, but the corners are radiused.
