rmnldr Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Are all PEI chassis the same? What kind of chassis is GDXXIII on? What is a cradle? Are all the tubes the same diameter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 23 is a CRD.. PEI's are basically the same (minus where you want to mount shocks), except for the GEN2, which has a lower engine mount and a few other differences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnldr Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 So there are different positions for shocks? What are some of the different configurations? Is it different for coilover shocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 PEI's have relatively stayed the same minus a few tweaks along the way 1st style first iteration (ignore the halo as this is paukens digger) 1st style second iteration 2nd style first iteration then there is a 2nd style second iteration placement of shocks or how they are angled are basically up to the preference of the driver/owner of the truck or possibly the chassis layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnldr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 i want to keep asking questions but I already derailed the topic xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemko Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 This is actually a great forum Its nice to hear about chassis'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavySonicShell Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So... kinda offtopic, but are the bars that are on to support the body mainly very strong? I know they can break off easily in some cases... But is that really normal? like if you look at a truck like Barbarian, the bed part of the body is being held on by a bit of metal tubing added onto the original chassis, which seems pretty small, and as though if the body got it they might fall off.

Mark Colineri Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Correct me if I am wrong, but those additive parts are usually just body mounts. Their only real purpose is to hold the body in place in certain spots...they aren't really used for integral support. Also I edited the topic title since we are talking about more than just CRD's and Cohen's. This will now be for anything and everything related to monster truck chassis.

NavySonicShell Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I thought so, was more curious if they were actually able to stay on without breaking in a rollover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnldr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So that explains why that piece on Grave Digger broke in New Orleans when Meents rammed XXIII. How much do chassis' generally cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Colineri Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Depends on who you go to...but they can range from about 8K to about 30K on the high side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmnldr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 What are some common modifications made to chassis'? (Besides ones made so the body can fit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
