Default My new Axial SW3 Rig. Thanks to Bender & RCP

I've been having fun with my stock AX-10, but after seeing all of Benders vids, I had to try out one of his chassis'. Luckily Brad agreed to build one for me and he hooked it up. Brian of RCP set me up with the C hubs, spindles and solid rear conversion. I then picked up some MSD wheels from Ben. I got a chance to run it a little last friday and so far so good. I still need to dial in the elctroics, but I'm really looking forward to our next comp.
Thanks guys for helping me out and thanks for the look.

Rich

Damn, top notch everything on that rig Rich, looks healthy and sharp. Mr.Bender makes a top notch chassis. Once it is dialed to your driving style I believe you will fully enjoy it. Your body paint is smokin, the colors along with the graphics just make it.

He uses the same Losi shocks as Brad and I, here is the info on them.

The shocks are Losi units, built from all these part numbers:
LOSA5056 times 2=$39.90
LOSA5062 times 4=$28.00
LOSA5015 times 4=$8.00
LOSA5079 time 1=$4.00
LOSA6100 times 2 for spares=$2.50
LOSA5046 times 1=$3.00
LOSA2006 times 1=$4.00


Looks good Rich, now get out there and drive it!

EP took the words right out of my mouth. I think part numbers are in Jason's thread. I am guessing there the same LOSI's but I am not sure J's had the threaded bodies. That body IS hot. Who painted it? Can you hook me up with one? Pm me details lol. That rig shouts RICH, best parts all around.

Lol Jason beat me Part numbers above.

What length are your body mounts by the way? I either have too short or way long.

Looks sick Rich, I love that body. Glad to hear it's working good for you too.

3/8" Delrin. I recently bent my 5/16" lowers, and they weren't even HC links, until after the fall. So, I switched to 3/8" lowers in the rear on my rig too.

Looks great Rich.

On a side note, Bender, I have heard rumors of you not making more SW3 chassis, can you shed any truth on that for me?

I was recently offered a job I couldn't pass up, so I took it. I plan on making more SW3's, just not sure when it's going to happen yet with me working full time at night.

Sweet rig.

I run your Claws and Grappler on my rig and love them.

One thing I noticed though is that the front tierod is located underneath the knuckle arm in your steering setup. Perhaps this was to provide more clearance to the servo horn Not a huge deal, but you may like the extra clearance if you got it on top...if you haven't already

Man, I have that exact setup, just need that SW3. Those Losi shocks are the shiznit for sure. They are just a bit short on the stock axial frame tho.
Your rig looks pretty dam sweet, diggin that paint too.
