Tubular chassis for defender 90

[mordzy]

Looking at replacing my tin worm ridden chassis this summer and fancied a tubular or normal Galv chassis that includes a tubular cage. Fancy a buggy type look.

Just wondered if you guys have any suggestions or reccomendations? The only thing I can find is a US company called kore. KORE Defender Chassis - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

But think shipping fees would be a little expensive.

Thanks

I could make you one

That frame you post the link to is a basic frame for you to fit coilover brackets and four link suspension , and hydro steer so not really for landrover running gear and road use

 

[mordzy]

Figured. It's the closest thing I could find that matched what I'm after

Are tube chassis road legal?

 

[mordzy]

Not really arsed about road legal. It's currently sorn. Though my mate has a lotus7 clone made from box section that he designed himself and is road legal so figure you can get it passed somehow

see if you can get Richards to make you One you need before galvanizing make you changes/mods then get it dipped

 

[mordzy]

Maybe Richards chassis and custom cage?

Yep and then galvy when you are done welding

 

[mordzy]

In my head is something like this RC Rock Crawling - The Ultimate Crawler Store

Can you get like a frame per made or s it a custom jobby?

 

[mordzy]

Or maybe this is more realistic??

You can't just replace the normal chassis with a tubular version. It would be a SVA job.
