Take your time and read trough the tons of articles here on RCC. All the info you need is just here. Use the search function, be a newb but not a n00b

Just trough reading and learning here I fabbed my own TXT alu chassis. I didn't ask one question about it, I just fabbed, and it came nice too. Good luck !

ya, if you know what axles you will be using, look in those areas... find builds you like, then start searching on those chassis. You will see all sort of options.

That is a fairly general question.
You didn't indicate what type of chassis? Tuber, scaler or a TVP (Twin Vertical Plate).
Also to help you more we'd need to know if you planed on building a 2.2 or a super. What axles do you have or planning on getting? Servos are mounted on the axles (usually)..

As they told you above the search is going to be your best friend. I use it daily.

Once we get some of the basic questions out of the way then we'd be able to assist you alot better.

I use graph paper and sketch the design. Cut it out and make a template. A brand new hacksaw blade and a dremel. Presto!!
