Back to mid in the last year, I started a MOC project. The goal is to MOC a Jeep Renegade. Link is:
My jeep renegade
The project lasted for an unexpected long time. I just lost my creation and interest after finishing the chassis and most of the body work. After a long break, I decided to give up the MOC. I think it is mainly because my love of Renegade is rather limited. I chose that car as a MOC target simply because I think its square shape is easy to build. So I grew more and more bored with it and finally made up my mind to stop the project.
During disassembling it, I came to an idea to make a standalone car chassis MOC. Since like its real world counterpart, the difference between chassis of a same class is not as much as body works. Especially the car makers today are prone to have a generic platform for all their products to save cost. It makes sense in lego world too. It will benefit a lot if I have a generic chassis which works easily with different body works.
With that, what I was trying to build a chassis which has:
Adjustable riding height
Manual/PF powered configuration
Adjustable wheel base
3 drive configurations: FWD/RWD/AWD
Besides, it has:
Compact size which is "only" 18 studs wide
62.4 mm wheels
McPherson front suspension
Multi link rear suspension
Working steering wheel
rigid framework
As a result, it fits best as chassis for compact SUVs or sedans.

A closer look at front and rear suspension:
Riding height has an adjustable range of 1 stud, as you can see, the white one is lower.
Thanks for watching.
