Researching first chassis, or suitable donor RC Truck

Its cheaper to make a chasis than to buy 1. I used a SMC sheet for the base, made some markings in it, and gave it to a carpenter to cut it out. Depending on what your truck must do, you wont even need a gear box. Get the battery holders and motors, measure their size and design a chasis. bit of work is needed. But I only spent 3$ on it. Its pretty good..
