Our Starter Chassis is something designed for the DIY person that does not have access to a tubing bender, but can cut and notch the remaining tubes required to make the chassis structurally sound. Essentially what you get is our race proven chassis design all pre-bent and fully welded. You will still need to add about another 100 feet of your own tube before it’s structurally sound enough to race.
The starter chassis is made from 1.75″ DOM throughout. The main chassis waste band tube and rockers are all .156" wall DOM while everything else is .120" wall DOM The starter chassis takes only a few weeks to ship from receipt of order.
The Basic Chassis is our traditional entry level chassis. It includes the same bending and welding as our starter chassis, only it includes a lot more tube-work and a basic sub-frame. Although the basic chassis has more tube-work done, it will still require more tubes to become a sound race car.
Once you have your tube-work finished, you will need to add all your brackets and tabs. You are of course free to use any brackets or tabs that you wish. However, we have created boxed bracket kits to help you complete the assembly of your buggy. We can package any and all brackets required to complete your chassis.
The basic chassis is made from 1.75″ DOM throughout. The main chassis waste band tube, rockers and subframe are all .156" wall DOM while everything else is .120" wall DOM. The basic chassis takes about 1 month to complete.
The complete chassis is the best middle of the road option before getting to a full roller. It essentially gives you the entire completed chassis up to the link mounts.
