|  The Rockstar Build So I built a chassis a long time ago and I'm finally getting around to finishing it off. I made some changes to the chassis, which will be shown later, but right now I have the body ready to rock   |

| No I'll be either working on the Bronco if it's clear or hunting turkey if it's not. I doubt I'll have the chassis done by then. The cool thing about the body is I can cut off most of the fenders and still have 70% of it intact |

| Ok here's the finished prototype of the chassis. The next one will be fully machined instead of partially and have any minor changes I find after crawling this one.   |

| The Hot Rod Crawler So I've shortened the wheelbase to just under 12" to fit the body. It looks a lot better now. The wheels will be changed to something a bit more flashy.   |

| my original design I finished just a few days before the RBX debut. pretty similar  The similarity kept me from selling any of them, why have two chassis so close together. It didn't make sense to me. Anyway on to some more pics with it's new wheels.    Last edited by rckjeep; 04-03-2006 at 02:08 AM. |

| SO I'm thinking of running some associated shocks like I have on the truggy to soften up the suspension. It's a bit stiff fir the weight of the chassis. |
