Specs: Custom chassis TLT axles locked front and rear ( jb weld ) pinions drilled for maxx sliders 3" Big Bore shocks E-Maxx tranny ( still waiting ) custom front and rear bumpers TTR wheel wideners Y'all know the rest.....Haha. On with the crappy pictures ( Its very humid outside so the lens is foggy. )      |

Thanks for the comments guys! The body is extremely bright! You should see it in the sunlight! Its like one of those glowstick things! It was going to be painted racing white but my old ( destroyed ) beater was that color.  |

Oldschoolcrawler: Feel free to copy the chassis! Im just glad people like it. I feel It is a very solid design. It is as stiff as a board and very light. However, Im sure the the maxx tranny will take care of the light part. :? |

The wheelbase is 12" from wheelnut to wheelnut. Almost all maxx bodys fit the chassis perfectly. As far as color goes, the rig is painted with Pactra flourescent yellow. It practically glows in the dark.

my first Immolator chassis was similar... main difference was the coil-sprung suspension, would have benefited from coil-overs big time.   looks great |

sicj: Your first immolator chassis is what inspired me to build a scale tlt rig! I loved your truck! I saw your revisions you did to it as well ( new chassis, lighter, longer, lower, etc...) However, I stayed away from the coil sprung suspension due to the setbacks you mentioned. The suspension set up on my truck now is extremely smooth. Im hoping it all works out great when I get it running. Thank you very much for your compliments! |

I think mabey I'll do mine shorter to replicate my '53 willys. OH YEH, this will be sweet. I like the fact that it looks more scale than the wedge frames every one is makeing.

OldSchoolCrawler: I know what you mean. I've never been fond of the wedge shape chassis. However, I do love how they perform. Hopefully my design will incorporate both realism and performance. The length of my chassis is right at 16 inches so you could definately shorten yours up some. I think a willys jeep would be awsome!!! |

oooh man i am so excited i could pee in my trousers! I do love the realism of that chassis, however i agree with you that the wedge chassis either cannot be beaten or that they haven't been beaten yet. I am working on a new chassis myself, and even tho there are no comps around here, it is still a wedge just because i have to keep up with my friends maxx rig. that just looks awesome. as stated above i cannont wait untill the body is on that rig.
