Chassis Types

[TheHolyHades1]

Hey guys,

We're beginning to plan for next year and we want to know what COTS options exist outside of the KOP chassis, and how they all compare. If you could please mention which chassis you use(d) and what drove you to that particular chassis system as compared to the other options that exist, and perhaps if you'd do it again, that would be wonderful. Things like versatility, ease of mounting things (such as bumpers, gearboxes, and vertical supports various systems), time to build, etc are appreciated.

What would also be great is if you do use a custom chassis, you mention why you decided to do that over other available options, and possibly what you learned from the experience?

So far, these are the COTS options that we know exist:

2013 KOP AM2239: http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2239.htm
