Truck chassis - where to get?
 

I want a chassi for this body:http://www.rigidrc.com/shop/option-p...o-700-kit.html anybody knows a good place? Or maybe I should build everything on my own? Then from where to get all the parts?

Sorry for a lot of questions but I don't know nothing about truck building, I've only done things from scratch:cool:

Oh, if somebody knows another place that sells the same body or new actros cheaper, then tell it!

There aren't many axles out there, they are quite a big problem to find if you don't wanna spend 300 on one axle.

I might consider making axles myself but I don't know how to make diff lock and unlock work in there. That would be a big problem...

It is 1/14 scale cab for a Tamiya kit so it depends on how many axles/frame length you want if you were to use the stock rails. :D

Ok thanks for the input guys! I know from there look at.


One more question: how are the tires connected to the rims? Are they glued or what? What rims/tires should I buy?

Re: Truck chassis - where to get?
 

Mine are just on with friction. You can glue them on, but I don't have heavy loads to worry about. If you want 10 hole american style then Steve ihbuilder is the the man, but aside from that there are many aftermarket options out there.
