|  Trouble Maker 2 Buildup
Got my chassis in the other day. Started collecting parts and planning everything out. First thing I noticed about the chassis is there are more than one way to assemble it. Which is great because I never leave anything alone. But for starters im going to assemble it the way paulezk designed it for with a slight twist. That isnt the bodies final placement, I am going to have the chassis stick through the hood and bed to slam it evem more. On with the pics! More details to come. |

I'm thinking it was a design he used? He also says there are more ways than one to assemble the chassis..? Looks prime though  | |

I would say its legal. A stampede is 1/10th scale so thats why im assuming. I got the idea of using the body from the utah guys, saw a few of their rigs with it and really liked it. We will see what the norcal group has to say  |

just be sure not to cut the fenders too much so 70% of the body still remains!

Where are you guys sending your designs to get cut like that? I tried searching google for "waterjet" and "cnc" and different variations of both and all I could come up with were huge commercial places or the actual machines. is it pretty pricey to get these cut if you only want like 2 pieces?

Check out the vendors section. Thats where I got this chassis, they have their designs made in bulk amounts and sell them to us (the public).

I really love the look of that chassis. I have to get my other ones built before I buy another one first!
