Brad, well I made a skid plate for my SWX and I got It built, and I'm going to a comp today for the first run with the new Bender Customs chassis. I can tell you this, I love it already.  Also thanks for the help on the links, I ended up using 70mm lower links, 55mm upper links with a 5mm spacer and TCS 4 link plates, came out perfect. My wheel base is at 12 3/8 and 2 3/4 belly clearance.Thanks Darren |

When are you going to have the SWX chassis for sale? Any idea?

I would like to thank Bender for this build. His ability to post clear instructions, great pictures, and answer damn near everything thrown at him helped me a lot with my own AX10 build. If it weren't for this thread, my crawler would probably just be a stocker right now. Five stars for you, Bender! |

Classic. Personally, I'm not a fan of fancy paint jobs. This is simple and clean, nicely done! Question: This new body looks less chopped around the wheel wells than your other one. Have you limited your articulation a bit, or just leaving on more lexan? |

I haven't fully trimmed this body yet. It will probably end up being cut close to my previous Grappler though. | |
