My new Axial SW3 Rig. Thanks to Bender & RCP

Very nice Rich. Amazing paint, now get out there and scratch up the body and those sick beadlocks.

Hi Rich,

Great looking rig. What is your skidplate clearance, and could you post up some pics of the underside so I can see how your links are? I'm having some problems with mine and can't get anyone else to answer in their threads or with PMs. Thanks.

Thanks for all the comments. Heres a couple answers too some questions:

I used body posts from the JRXS Type R. Not sure of they're length, but it's what I had laying around here at work.

I hadn't noticed that until now, thanks

Hope these help.

Thanks so much Rich! I started off with mine like this but I used the Axial kits rod ends and with my links inside the chassis they hit the side of the plates during flex. Also with those same shocks I'm not getting near that much skidplate clearance. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hey Rich,

Any chance you can get Losi to make these in a kit?

Nice rig.

I have to get down there and make an appearance.

Looks like good spanking material.
