Just ordered my SWX. It won't be in till late Nov. This should give me plenty of time to come up with the other parts.

Finally got a chance today to run my SWX and i am really surprised with the handling over the stock kit. Side hilling was awesome climbs and drop offs are really smooth I can't believe how stable this thing is. I started off with white springs and 50 weight oil front and rear with a belly clearance of 2 3/4 and the truck was a little too soft, resulting in a little twist mind you I run about 60-70 degrees of articulation. i then switched to red fronts and silver rear and the truck came to life. I defiantly was able to run lines that my stock set up could not. Very impressed once again with this chassis .

I have to say I am really impressed with my SWX. I have been making small changes for the last two weeks and the chassis is really responding well. I moved my dig servo down similar to Benders and limited my shocks a little and this thing flat works right now. I finally pulled off a win in our weekly comp, so something must be right. |

Just wanted to post up and say the SWX is great. Made some minor changes to the link positions and this chassis flat out rails with my driving style. Sitting first over all in a LHS weekly comp and very happy with set up |

after dabling with a losi white springs i gave up on them. i tried out like2crawls setup of reds in the front and silver in the rear,and WOW what a difference. with the limited articulation and stiffer rates the truck really feels planted and predictable! sidehilling has been improved alot as well! so reds with 27 1/2 and grays with 50 great starting point |

Brad what right height are you running? My SWX is at 3" which seems high to me. My Axial Stocker was at 2.5"

Hey Bender, is it possible to buy the SWX skid and links? Basically the full chassis kit without the frame plates. I want to update my SW3.
