Thanks Stefan! It seems on the go parts there was more go available, but he was keeping lots of room and not tailgating, so I was thinking that was the case. Still looks like a blast!

Plus Exo cars are, um, a bit breezy at high speeds so they reach terminal velocity quite quickly.

oh i had a good old time out at STPR. I've been thinking a lot lately about making up some more chassis'. It would be easier to make them more offroady than like mine. If i were to use the stock suspension it would sit about 4" higher. I'd have to address how close the front tire sits to the vertical tube that would be the "door hinge tube". I mounted 265/35's the other day and now i cant turn the wheel all the way. Nota big deal but it would be in a tight spot.

You mentioned earlier in the thread about making more chassis. Obviously you have decided to go that route with making the wife her own exotruck. Have you had anyone approach you about making them for potential customers? It certainly seems like something that there's got to be some sort of market out there for.

Still lurking. Exotruck has become more and more of a brand for me lately. Recently awarded fan favorite in a Hot Wheels legends tour, drove 600 miles to meet the previous Hot wheels tour winner. More recently threw a rod through the block. Currently breaking in a new motor capable of 600hp. Since Covid, ive lost my job building waterparks and after a lot of thinking and input from others, i decided to start a shop and build Exotruck chassis, Havent sold any yet, havent put them up for sale.  Working on a chassis that ive applied my R&D to. This one will be the mold so its taking me a bit of time. Any way, just stopping in to update.

Awesome. Best of luck on the business. What did you do for the windshield material and mounting to the tube frame?

I use laminated safety glass, mounts to a flat bar frame with regular windshield glue

I'm pretty curious about one of these being built more off-roady with stockish ride height.

I have a donor.

Quarterly update time.

I opened a shop, closed the shop. Too much overhead so I'm building onto my house. 24x30 garage with some living space above. It'll help me stay in fabrication without adding to my living expenses. I'm nearly done with another build for a guy in Texas.
