Beautiful rigs man! What kind of chassis do you have on your super? Looks kinda like an NN copy to me, did you make it? I do like that design. And I really like the beefy looks of those links... delrin I take it? Do you use metal rod inside of them to stiffen up those links?

Just a home-made thin aluminum plate chassis I cut out with some shears That was hard on the hands and I know better now...stupid newb i was

The links are acetal and they are solid 3/8"...so no rod was needed down the center, they're plenty rigid even at their 8" length.

Wow... Would you go as far as saying they are stronger than aluminum links? And are they really slippery?

Not that I would say they are stronger. The acetal links do flex some...even the 3/8", but not more than about 1/4" over the whole length. I like them over aluminum for that reason alone. Aluminum would be too rigid and would cause the mounts and/or chassis to have to absorb all the shock. With the acetal, since they flex a bit, it takes some of the shock away from the other parts. Like a crumple zone

And yes, another reason they are nice is because they are slippery. Slides over the rocks instead of dragging and gouging into aluminum links.

Default New Body for SW3

Well everyone has new updated riggs for 08 so I changed out
my custom one of a kind rock weight. I also painted my first
body and mounted it on the old SW3.
