If you only want the Chassis then search for "1/16 car spares",
But if you are after a rolling Chassis as the Link displays you really don't want to go looking for cheaper because you will only find rubbish.

Ok. Thank you. Otherwise I let design the chassis from my designer who works for me and build in only the car parts axials usw... ;) Working on a big project beside my first one. ;) It's later 3D printable and customizeable. But it's still secret know. Also I can let do cnc parts from it later. So let u surprise when it is finish. It will take 3 or 4 months. But we allready start with briefing on it and need for designing the body a rolling 4WD chassis for the dimensions.

I'm also looking for a lighting kit. Headlights, indicators, reversing lights, brake lights. Scale 1:16. I find constantly only scale 1:10 or 1:12. Any idea? And not round ones better is angular.

Found only that one: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/33043105 ... b201603_53

Try E-Bay,
Type in "1/16 Car lighting Accessories",
You will find a number of complete lighting sets.
Dont forget that Tamiyas Truck kits are in 1/14 scale and the full lighting circuit is available separately but it is expensive.
Have you tried ----

This could be exactly what you are looking for.
Go to _____

In 1/16 scale this kit includes Headlights, Sidelights, Taillights, Indicators, Reverse lights, Plus all wiring costs £20 plus postage,

I can't find a physical size for that chassis on the link, although they say it is 1/16th, it would be good to know the exact size.

This is where either Will or Gary turn up with a load of measurements as it just the WPL Toyota pickup truck chassis.
Cheers

Edit
Here’s a cheap way to get the full chassis to work from

Hi Sascha,
Re the 2 links you posted above.
The all metal version is for the Toyota pickup. You can tell because it has multilink suspension with coilover suspension springs & that the chassis has a dip in the middle.
The other link is for the military truck, this has only leaf springs holding the axles in place, no shock absorbers & the chassis rails are straight.
As far as I’m aware the military chassis won’t fit the Toyota & Vicky verky.
The axles however should be interchangeable, I’m sure Will will confirm.
Hope that helps?
Cheers
Wayne
