Shortened Xmods Chassis

i happen to find a link to this chassis made by AzNsinister.

i would love to make this myself just for the fun of it but are there any bodies this short?

nice... thats a gen one no?...

one thing... i know this isnt exactly the topic... but since you are messing around with shortened chassis... how about longer chassis... i have a 1/24 scale model body that i HAVE to get on a xmod evo... is it possible to stretch it out? maybe a spacer somewhere in it... and then i was thinking of making a custom center drive shaft so i could keep my awd... has it been done?

also where would you get bodies for a shortened chassis like that?.. if you do go that route...

i have no doubt someone has done an extended chassis. weither it's short or long, the only part required is an adjusted center shaft. other than the base chassis plate.

Many people have made extended chasis before. The biggest problem is making a driveshaft if you want to use awd.

Body or no body, I really like the shortened chasis. It is very well made and planned out. I always wanted to try my hand at carbon fiber.

the center shaft is the least of my worriez right now... im more interested in how to make the wheels off the model kit work on the xmods... they are nice drifting tires on them and they are scaled to the body so they are perfect in my eyes...

the thing is i want to use the original chassis and just need to find where to put an "extension" block between it... i'll drill out the area i need for the center shaft and use some of the sealed bearings for gen1 xmods that i have... and boom... now i just have to break down and tear appart my baby, the firebird, to do this project... maybe i could pick up another chassis to do this to... iono...
