Tutorial - Full Throttle Chassis

The design of the body is an integral part of the whole setup. There are various designs one can have for the off road car. This part is more of your choice so we won't be stressing more on the designs.

For this the best option is to use Carbon Graphite and Aluminum, the former is more preferable.
