Advanced Racing Technology...mid engine and on-road conversions.
RC Innovators...another mid engine.
JG...several types of buggy, oval, and long wheelbase truck chassis.
Bullet Racing...trailing arm and JRX2/RC10 hybrid.
RBS and American Racing also had sprint cars.

Parma, and Trinity also resold Composite Craft chassis.

I'll leave the on-road conversions for LTO_Dave to list. ;)

Edit: Forgot Raceco with the foam core chassis.....and I think someone did a wood core but don't remember who. Maybe DA?

There's tons more.

Some of the companies mentioned made multiple chassis types and versions. Composite Craft made at least six kinds of chassis over the years.

There's also the chassis that have been lost to time. Advance Engineering for example had the Super Sport Indy conversion which may or may not have been a unique chassis....and the original A-Main had the front wheel drive Bullet which must've used a unique chassis.

Thanks Phin. :mrgreen:

A few I can think of that haven't been mentioned:

- TrackMaster graphite and fiberglass on-road/oval conversion
- HyperDrive fiberglass on-road/oval conversion that used their own pancar-style front beam axle.
- Lightz Products fiberglass oval conversion that used 10L front suspension (regular and wide)
- JCAR fiberglass on-road/oval conversion that used 12L front suspension
- Grand Motorsports Hugger graphite oval conversion (gearbox)
- Grand Motorsports Vulcan graphite oval conversion (direct-drive)
- Ascot sprint conversion
- Custom Works Enforcer-10 sprint conversion. And maybe an Intimidator-10 conversion too?

Didn't RCRC make a sprint conversion too?

Ascot and RCRC were the same cars, but B&R would be another sprint car.

There's also the TMS Dually pick-up to add to the list.

It could be nice if you put some pics of the cars that have the chassis conversions.

OK. I'll play. Here are 2 of mine. This is my Bullet Racing chassis with trailing arms and my childhood race car which has a Composite Craft chassis with the wide front end that retains the stock short arms.

EDIT: I just noticed something funny. When I put the Bullet car together I was short 1 blue screw. When I put the wide front car together I was short 1 standard green screw at the front. Looks like I need to swap them. I already know I didn't have enough green for the rear end. I have no idea how I haven't noticed this until now! :lol:
