    Looks super capable! My Ascent 18 plan doesn't involve turning it into a mega crawler, but if it did, I'd be eyeing this chassis.
    I see a couple comments on cost; I wonder if Mr. Orange would consider lower cost materials like G10 and aluminum rather than carbon fiber and titanium...

    This is sweet! Was actually thinking of trying to design something similar for a flat chassis (for scx24’s/trx4m/ascent18/fcx18) where the front section comes up to under the hood of the body so no worries about servo clearances. But orange has done it and it looks great! Wish they made a carbon fiber version of it! I’m gonna wait for a carbon version for sure before I buy. I don’t want that extra weight of the titanium.

    Damn I wish I lived closer to you. I'd love to do a side by side comparison with what I feel like is a dialed stock chassis A18, I don't run the stock body and I have stretched my WB to 155mm.

      @@Steve_J81 I bet that stretch makes a huge difference! I had a stock chassis pretty dialed early on. Cut the front end off of it and it ran great. Swapped it for the scx24 chassis though lol

    I still don't understand why companies don't capitalize on hardbody builds.
    A chassis kit, and body mounts, hardbody..
    Sold as a kit. Leaf options with the kit.
    They are missing out.. everything is usually twice the cost buying this, buying that.. then buying this..
    Ya it's fun but, I don't know.. just surprised no one has figured that out yet.

    Can you lower the shocks, so it doesn't sit as low? Would help the belly and allow more dropout for breakover too.

      That’s how several of my crawlers have ended up. Especially scx24s.
      But if I built the stock one back up, I’d have to start modding it too.
      Would be a circle of doom before long.
