Title: D'Mars build Stout Chassis?
Post by: theundeadelvis on June 24, 2026, 10:57:08 am

Can anyone confirm if the V2 Stout chassis will work for a D'Mars build? I'm thinking about the simple, single "channel," passive FX build. Thanks!

Not likely. The chassis is 12" long. Hoffman's D'Mars board is 10" long. Also, you would need to add one more noval socket. Where would you put that?

Ha! Good call. My mind had not even made it that far to consider that. Appreciate the feedback.

The link for that chassis is here
It's on the catalog page for chassis

You can see what will fit
