Default Chassis Mock Up Frame

Does anyone sell the chassis mock up you put the axle in? A made one for my MRC and would like to buy one that is for both 2.2 and the MRC. THanks!

I think most use a pair of yard sticks from craft store with holes drilled in them.

You could use the same pair of yard sticks for multiple wheel bases. Just drill the hole at the 1 inch mark, then all the other holes at whatever wheelbases you need.

Simple and cheap.

Ya I already made one kinda like that. But I wanted to have openings next to the holes so I could make links and put shocks on while it was still attacked to the mock up. I just didn't want to take the time to make the one I had better. But that is what I might have to do.

I used some right angle pine trim from Lowe's. It came as a pre-primed white color. I just cut two pieces the same length and marked & drilled the holes. After I marked the numbers down...I sprayed them with rattle can clear coat to give them a bit of protection. With all the other holes, it gives you place to put hex wrenches through to attach links and shocks.

Thanks for the pics guys. I think I'm gonna have to make me one. Do y'all have the distance between holes drilled 'right on' the legal limit, or are they just a little under it?
