I want to build my own monster truck chassis and I need to know what materials to use and a general ideal of size. If anyody has any plans or knows where to get them that would be great.

Well depending on what type of chassis you want to build ( MT, touring, ect.)

There are alot of materials to use. I personaly like working with carbon fiber because it's easy to cut and I don't need my own machine shop to work with it. Here's a couple of links to get you going.
