Default Xmods Evo trucks

where can you get xmods trucks? i can only find body kits but no chassis or starter kits.

also is it possible to take a street car and make it use a truck body?

short reply is no

aside of the electronics the truck and car chassis do not share any parts

there is only one truck chassis but it is available in 2 lenghts

the titan you posted is an evo/street car chassis with wide axles and large tyres (look like lego ones)
you can get the wide axles from xmodsinternational \/

anything is possible ....just depends how much work you want to do

the axles will let the steering and drive work without snagging on anything (but looking at the pic you will need to open the wheel wells )

next on the list is making the chassis longer (get some chassis spacers also from XI )

so by lengthening and widening a little bit it should fit on there, along with drilling out the wheel wells?

actually those are tamiya tires, not lego, they are actually very soft and grippy, con-no flex find em here \/
http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/65
Even better though and these flex =D
http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/64

I actually like that titan much better than most of the xmod crawlers i see, usually they are just body-lifted trucks with oversized tires and no "real" suspension all they have have is a pivot joint so they articulate, i wanna see a truck with "real" suspension that goes up and down.

For an axle, just use a truck one or make one from a pen shaft
