Chassis for toy vehicles and methods of making the same

A chassis for a toy vehicle comprising:

• a body with a front, back top and bottom;
• a pivot axis located within the body;
• a first articulating arm with a first proximal end pivotally coupled to the body at the pivot axis and extending towards the front of the body to a first distal end configured to receive a first axle;
• a spring coupled between the body and the first articulating arm and configured to bias the first distal end away from the body;
• a second articulating arm coupled to the body at a second proximal end with a ball and socket joint and extending towards the back of the body to a second distal end configured to receive a second axle;
• and
• a rear axle extension coupled to the second distal end of the second articulating arm at a rear axle extension first proximal end wherein the rear axle extension comprises at least one location aft of the second distal end configured to receive the second axle.

• a spring coupled between the body and the first articulating arm and configured to bias the first distal end away from the body;
• a second articulating arm in the shape of an isosceles triangle and coupled to the body at a second proximal end at a tip of the isosceles triangle with a ball and socket joint and extending towards the back of the body to a second distal end at a base of the isosceles triangle and configured to receive a second axle;
• and
• a rear axle extension coupled to the second distal end of the second articulating arm at a rear axle extension first proximal end wherein the rear axle extension comprises at least one location aft of the second distal end configured to receive the second axle.
