Started sticking some tube together. Wish my bender did tighter bends:? I think it'll turn out when its finished. Bellypan, door bars, gussets, panels.....

One of my favorite chassis designs. Just a sinister look to it.

Thats a JACC!!!

Thought I read it was a Raven Racing Chassis?

The more I look at my chassis the more I hate it. It's symmetrical, but it just looks stubby and wide. Also my WB is 16" in that pic. I set the Rok loks up at that length and they have about 4" between them. I think I'm gonna stretch her out some more.

Your right, (were did you read that its a Raven Racing Chassis?). The guy that owns that buggy (Tj Tayler) is my buddy. We alway give him chit and tell him that its a JACC, (just another Crash Chassis). Crach is the guy the owned Raven racing.

I'll let him know that your building a scale rig after his. His head will be so big he wont be able to walk. HAHA

dezmoon · 01-26-2010, 07:43 PM

id stretch it out for sure,,get some length on her,,tubing looks good man,,

Bart bender · 01-27-2010, 05:28 AM

I guess it's not bad for 3 hrs of sleep

I layed it on top of my CD3 rig and it's actually the same dimensions as that chassis. Other than wheel base which is 17 3/4" I think I'm gonna cut some out of the cab area.

OVIron, I thought it was JT Taylor? Isn't Raven Racing an Offshore Boat Racing team? I've been looking for some more detailed drawrings(

) pics, of it. It must be a top secret design. Tell him it's a killer looking chassis

oldvintageiron · 01-27-2010, 05:54 PM

yea it's Tj Taylor( sometimes my hand is faster the my brain), Don't know if I can get you anything but next time I see it I'll get you some measurments of it. And there may be a Ravin racing Offshore team but my buddy Crash (Harrison Bean) onwed Raven Racing here in Colorado Springs. He no longer builds chassis.

Bart bender · 01-28-2010, 03:05 PM

JT Taylor?

Anyway, BAM!!

Only one insey winsey problem

Hopefully after I take 3/4" out of the rims it won't hit the driveshaft:?

dezmoon · 01-28-2010, 03:09 PM

holy freeholy,,,,god damn,,,whats up narrow axles,,,yeah,,get em narrowed for sure

Bart bender · 01-28-2010, 03:33 PM

They actually are the same width as the standard narrowed axles. That makes sence :? The pigs is slammed and the rims are 2 1/2" wide

I'm gonna shoot for 1 3/4"

Bart bender · 01-28-2010, 03:43 PM

I lied they are 10" hex to hex. Corn Dog 2.1 is 10.5" hex to hex.

EDIT:
The front axle is 11" hex to hex. It's my rear that's 10.5" :?

i have my blasts narrowed down to 1 7/8s,,but my shafts are in the center,,not with the off set diff

Bart bender · 01-28-2010, 03:46 PM

I hope it pulls them in tight enough it dosn't hit. Other wise i'm fawked

Bart bender · 01-28-2010, 07:37 PM

I'm really thinkin I need the X-Loks for this rig. These tires, though AWESOME, are just ridiculous for a Super. They're just fawking HUGE.

Compare

I mean they're too big for this thing too

This is just more sensible

I think I'm gonna scrap the chassis too.

oldvintageiron · 01-29-2010, 10:20 PM

I have dyslexia!

That actually gave me an idea. I saw in an off road magazine yesterday. It was an prototype concept Jeep thing w/ 40'' tires it was lo something.

It was kinda sorta like this.

Edit: Found it! Although not the best pics, its the red one.

Double Edit: More like this.

You can do it!

dezmoon · 01-30-2010, 01:32 AM

that 1.1 jeep is bananas,,,,,,bart,,build that thing,,,

Bart bender · 01-30-2010, 02:37 PM

That is military Michilen 52" rubber. I was thinkin something like this for my next build

92PathSE · 01-30-2010, 03:02 PM

I guess if you're gonna use Rockwells you might as well have 52" tires. That thing is gonna be bonkers.

But back on topic, those Rok Lox are HUGE. I didn't realize they were that big.

Bart bender · 01-30-2010, 03:15 PM

1/8 scale = 69x25x32
1/6 scale = 52x19x24
1/4 scale = 35x12.50x16
