So far I have identified the steering and steering lockout and thunder tech racing, but I have no idea who the heck made this chassis. I picked this up in a lot of rc stuff the other day for 200. This thing seems to crawl great and has locked diffs. It needs some different gearing though.

Welcome BTW!

Never seen one of those before, but it looks very nice!! Like the simple design.

It's not bad. The stock super clod body sits on there nicely so Im happy and it seems to climb great witht eh stock wheels n tires, It just doesnt turn worth a damn without the rear steer and locked hubs. I've looked at ton of chassis and I still havent seen this particular one. I', assuming its a older one, but who knows.

Very cool truck, it is entirely possible it is a one of a kind chassis since lots of guys make their own chassis and parts myself included for various builds.

I agree ,
I believe to know pretty much every aftermarket chassis out there for the Clod ,
But this deal here looks to me too like one of a kind , self-made

possible, but it uses thundertech steering. A lhs said he recongnized the chassis but couldnt rememebr the make. Maybe a northwest local guy who made a few. I really doubt it was a one off from the cnc cuts of the metal and anodized black frame. That would have been one expensive one off. I'm pretty sure the top galvanized piece of home made, but the actual chassis doesnt look like it, I used to be a machinist and this isnt anything done with a manual mill. Water jet or something similar.

Here are some pics hard parked on the side of a rock mound I managed to make all the way up and down , probably around 70 yards. This was a easy section, but steap angle and I liked the front drivers wheel way up in the air. Hard tot ell from the pics though. The beast should climb even better now I have 35t integy's I'll try n get the gf to video next time I go out.
