I was asked by a friend to make a template of my Ascots chassis for him while I had it stripped down. I thought it might be useful to somebody on here. If you want a copy you will need to pm me so I can email you a full size version.
I was looking for a stock length Butterfly chassis for my new project for a Ford F150 Ranger XLT. There are couple of them on evilbay, prices were ranging from $125 to $200. Outrageous prices too. So I decided to make one myself. I have an original...
Scored this for $100 on the bay yesterday..it's a fair bit different to my BBT is it an Ascot?..can anybody tell me anything about it..what year they came out who made them...those rims look a little different to are they alloy or plastic?
Cheers...

Well I've already started to work on my Ascot I want it to look half decent until I get around to a total rebuild. Anyhow a couple of things I've noticed about this lead me to believe that they weren't made as well as the Big Boys Toys sprinter. The...

Looking great Pete. That sprint was good score. Nice work cleaning it up.
i picked up this ascot chassis and cage from tulsa. i just through some parts on it to mock up where i wanted the wheelbase set. so, now i can take it back apart and start the build-up. :)

holy crap, that T1 is, how to say it... dead? How did he do that :shock:
It had a slight disagreement with the rolling tires of a Ford Expedition and obviously the Expedition won.
Only a mock-up for now to test how everything fit together....which is remarkably well. I was able to use existing holes on the rear arm mounting plate for the rear of the cage but they do push the main cage about 1/2 further ahead of the rear...

I have been thinking to do this my selves, so I will follow this closely :D
after seeing the chromed out sprinters on rc10talk, i just couldnt resist having one on my shelf. ive been scoping to purchase one and rebuild - and finally the one for me popped up on ebay. i think it may have belonged to a new member here looking...

Another option is to get a sheet of G10 and make your own chassis that uses a CW sprint car cage.
I've strongly considered doing that. :wink:
no thanks too much work and i want my stuff perfect. always liked the thin simple sprint chassis
