what chassis
« on: May 17, 2013, 07:00:57 pm »
I have a ranch king chassis and a power pro chassis. the power pro has somewhat of a pointed front frame unlike the ranch king is you typical square front chassis. should I use one of these or go with something else. what is the best factory frame to use. I plan on sometime to build a complete chassis from the ground up, but for now need help on what the best is for now.

Square is always good, I'm a fan of tube chassis though, like the wide body's have. After a little while of building and messing with different stuff, you'll find out what kinda chassis and stuff you like to start with and mess with.

Best of luck to yea!

Oh ok I wasn't doubting him I know the chassis change from time to time and thought maybe they had changed up to a tube type frame.
