Default Broke my Wheely King Chassis

Well...I have officially gotten 5 runs out of it. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good chassis?

Well, I used google, but only found a few things. I have a friend who is a machinist but i need to come up with some sort of design... The stock chassis sucks and puts the motor up too high i think.

Here is one, I designed and made from 1/8" alum, might help to give you some idea's. You could cut the bottom off (Tummy Tuck) a bit or whatever. Worked well for my first mods.

If you want to go with a stock like one there are a few places who make aluminum ones that are the same shape as the stock one. or you can get a axial chassis and clock your motor and lay down your tranny to help with the COG.
I no longer use this set up but it worked well.

Well, I had everything set up and crawling great however, typical guy, I thought ...... "ok, what can I do to make it juuust a little bit better?" While trimming some of the chassis it cracked right before the front shock/body post mount. I talked to a friend of mine and he said if I can get him diagrams of what i need he will machine me whatever parts I need on a CNC Lathe. !!

I also found this online if anyone is interested:

Default clock a little further

when you clock a wheely king trans, you can actually go a little further with the angle (lets say you start at twelve-most i have seen are clocked to nine oclock. Go alittle further and it centers the weight of the motor a tad better.Grind the side of the case and you can bet even more.
