Clodbuster for my son?
 
So my son told me the other day he wants an RC Monster truck for Christmas, this is my middle son who is 8 years old. I've been in and out of RC stuff since the early 90's and the Clodbuster has always intrigued me so I am thinking of getting one as a project for us, but I'm the kind of guy who wants to go all out. I want to start with a stock clodbuster and build it into a beast that looks as close to a real monster truck as possible.
My first question is which Chassis available resembles a real monster truck the most? I'd prefer a tube chassi, but without the section that supports the body as I have a custom idea in mind for that.

New era has a full tube chassis that is really nice. You should check out rcmt.net all monster trucks some really nice builds on there.

Yeah the new era chassis is nice, maybe I'll end up getting it and chopping the top cage off to do what I want. Still debating on a truck theme as well. my imagination is running wild.

I'm not opposed to custom chassis', and I'll check out your site.
