Official Product release. Will be for sale: September 2010.

There comes a time in the life of every scale builder when they want to move to the next level. Where the GCM CrossCanyon chassis is primarily designed for Coil over spring setups, the all new GCM 4TEN chassis is a leaf spring designed chassis with loads of setup options ready for your detailed build.

Please see the Product info video below for an overview and a rundown of our 10 inch Jeep TJ setup.

The new 4TEN chassis design adopts some of the proven chassis and balance geometry used in our GCM CrossCanyon Scaler Conversion kits, and allows the use of the Axial center transmission mounted up front where it belongs. This, along with the front mounted motor and frame mounted front steering servo, allow for a proper weight balance for scale trail and rock crawling as well as a low Center of Gravity. The Transfer case mounted mid-frame allows for ideal driveshaft angles as well as ample room for interior details and electrics. The all new rear shock bridge allows angle mounting of the rear shocks and keeps the crossmember down low for easy pickup box mounting or cage work. The Chassis has 3 deg of designed-in castor to correct pinion angles for the front and rear without the use of angle spring blocks. With a total frame length of 17.6 inches on the rails, the Toyota FJ users will love the long front frames for a winch mount, and the rear can be trimmed down to length any time to match the body and bumper mounts used in the build.

Please see the 4TEN Product page for more information and setup details.

That's the nicest looking chassis of that type that I have seen. No cutting corners either, like bolt on shock mounts and sheetmetal leaf mounts. Everything is solid machined and gives it a thick, quality look. I like the channeled frame also.

RockPile Article in November RCCA did a review on this chassis shown here http://www.rccaraction-digital.com/rccaraction/201011/?pg=113&pm=2&u1=friend on page 113 and 114.
Thanks for the comments.
