It's only been about 35 years or so, I think it's time for a chassis upgrade, it's about time, eh?
Holy Cannoli! Option #1 makes an aluminum chassis for the CW01? Well slap me silly and call me Betty! Let's giv'er a rip, boys!
As my best pal, Ace Ventura says, it fits: "like a glove" -- Just watch me screw those holes!
If you're looking for your very own chassis, go to eBay, punch in "aluminum CW01 chassis" and the rest is history.
Oh, and be excellent to each other, eh!

@poorboysrc Год назад

I took it for a test spin and it felt a little more "connected" to the road, but I had also installed the rear shock mount from Option #1, which moves the rear shocks out another half-inch or so, which may have contributed to the improvement.

The CW-01 is iconic. I'm more kind of Team Lunch Box. But I don't know anyone bein addicted to this chassis who had left it in standard. So why not changhing it to an aluminum one. Now I'm interested in the whole kit to make a steet racer. For Offroad I prefeer plastic. Thanks for showing and the value informations👍 My opinion is let the front braces in place. It looks as if they protect the chassis in case of a chrash.
