what do you guys think...it will be waterjet cut aluminum. Im going to have them cut next week so I can start a build. Its meant to be a buggy designed out of a single piece of aluminum. (and yes you may have seen it on rcc

cant bend CF. I'm planning on boat sideing the lower half. I made some small changes to it also, just mainly added some lower mounting holes and moving the rear brace mount.

Not legal unless you run a body, I'm sure you know that at this point. If it was all one piece then it would be. For some reason USRCCA 08 Rules allow Unibody's but not TVP's. I fought it like heck but hey no one listens to me.

unibodies???? What the heck is a unibody???
You know me, I am more of a basher than a competitor. I was building this just for myself so it realy didnt matter but, just in case I ever deside to sell them, Im making it so you can add a body.

I got the answer to the unibody question. Its when the entire vehicle (sides,roof,hood etc) are all made from 1 piece of material just folded together. Nationals might say a TVP buggy isnt legal but, local rules can be changed

and they are better than I hoped for!!! As of today (08 rules came out) comp legal (I had to get clarrification but they are)

Looks pretty cool. What are you looking for, price-wise, and will they come with the cross bars?

Totally forgot to mention, these chassis' are now available @ hobbytown Naperville.
I'm going to try to work out all the bugs and I'll be competing with mine at the comp on the 16'th. I need to get off my butt and build DIG for it.

To cold to go out for a cool "Look I placed my crawler on a rock" shot so you get "flexing on hardwood"
