not bad ... and for that price, it makes it more competitive.

I'd probably go with this chassis for the money. NN Clod Chassis - $189.99 Complete

That's a nice looking chassis. It has a link configuration like the clodzilla's. It definitely is a really good price.

I noticed the last pictures says "craftlab design". I wonder how or if they are affiliated with Gmade?

I look through some of the stuff they sold and 1 was a Gmade part.

That's chassis sweet. If I ever sell my tube chassis I'm getting that. It reminds me of the bruiser chassis with actual frame rails. I like realism in the trucks and that's almost it. I'd make the wheel base a little longer but that's about it. Sweet frame. Said that already. I remember paying like $200+ for my zilla 4 way back when and that 10x better.

I usually don't deal across seas but he's got good ratings so I'll try 'em.

Make sure to take some pics when you get it and let us know your impressions of the quality, etc.

Found this thread at the weekend, and bought a chassis on impulse! That's just too damn pretty for me not to own!

The only problem is that I've had to buy another clod to go with it as I didn't want to break up my UTRCRC clod. DAMN YOU RCCRAWLER FORUMS! WHEN WILL IT ALL END?

The chassis arrived last week. I've built it up, but I'm waiting for a second pair of shocks to arrive at my local shop. Hopefully they'll get them in before the weekend, so I'll post pics of the chassis with axles and shocks.

First impressions? Good! Looks like it'll have enough articulation to be competent at crawling, but it's heavy. It's beefy everywhere, which is good as it's gonna be used as a basher.

I'm still waiting for another pair of shocks to arrive, but I thought I'd post some pics of the bare chassis. At least I would post pics if only I could find out how, any body got any pointers? For now, you'll have to click on the links, sorry!

It's definitely a sturdy chassis, everything's well made and it goes together easily enough despite the lack of an instruction manual. I'm assuming that the (very) shiny finish is some sort of coating, so I've fabbed a skid plate to stop the finish from getting damaged on the beast's belly. Other than that, I can't wait to get the shocks and radio gear fitted!

you need to have a star to upload pics to RCC. If you don't have a star, you can link the pictures using the button that looks like a mountain and a moon/sun above it. Put your pointer over it and it will say "insert image" You can upload pics to photobucket.com or imageshack.com then link them here.

The chassis looks really nice and looks like a good deal. I'll post the pics up for easier viewing:

That seems like a hang up nightmare on the bottom.

Yeah, that occurred to me too. Fortunately, I've now got that problem licked...

PS. Thanks for that Kevin. I had to delve in to my profile settings to change the message editing preferences so that the mountain/sun button thing appeared.
