Hey Bender do you have any Pics of your Chassis? How did you get the servo to fit with the supplied servo mount and the SWX chassis? Thanks | |

Bender, how is the VP dig working out. When you have time please post some pics of the dig setup, thanks.

The VP dig works awesome. I ran it this past weekend at the Red Rocks comp in Colorado and it worked flawlessly for me. My transmission mounting point is a little different from stock. So, I'll try to get my set-up bolted into a stock SWX chassis and post some pics for everyone this week. |

Looks to me like your rear upper link hits the dig servo VP is going to make a mount for a mini servo, which might give more clearance.

God the SWX's are sweet man. i love this chassis. now with both the DNA and VP digs available, we gots good options. im actually debating getting a micro servo, due to the fact i broke the mounting brackets on my current dig servo. its held in by faith and ghetto rigging right now. i think id try and mount it low on the chassis itself, or fab up a new lil bracket. i also recently moved my uppers to the highest mounting point on the chassies, and it climbs up shit that it couldnt before. the lil bit of additional squat really works well w/ my COG. |

| He is not using the standard setup. It is a deviated version of what everyone else gets. |

At frist I moved my uppers down to clear the servo and also lost a lot of climbing. That is why I flipped the srew head on the inside. It dose not seem to both the the digs movement. I got to see this. Pics please. | ||

Bender I see that all other dig's the drive shaft have to be shorten. With this new Vanquish dig do I still have to shorten the drive shafts? Also what turn motor do you run and what is your gearing Last edited by sally1800; 07-23-2009 at 08:40 AM. |

Thanks for the compliments on the chassis guys, glad you like it. Quote:

You'll have to shorten the driveshafts a little. The driveshaft doesn't move when using the VP dig, but you are lengthening the tranny when you bolt the unit up. | |||

bender I see you run losi red in front and one rear and silver in the other I have mod big bore shocks the spring you are running will be short for me right. what do you feel will work best with big bore? Have you ever used traxxas progressive spring? |

| I think my old Losi springs will be too short to use with the big bores. I've never run big bores so I'm not sure what springs would work best. I've never tried the progressive springs either. But, they may work decent. Sorry I couldn't be more help. |

For everyone who runs this chassis what is your wheelbase at? Belly clearance? I'm puttin mine together and having one hell of a time. My WB comes out to 12 3/4" and belly at 3". I'm using the "phatty" delrin links. When I first put it together my axels were clocked in pointing my axel outpout towards the ground. I put spacers in the upper links to force the axels to clock out so the output is facing up. Now the clock is correct but WB is to long.:? I can post pics of this if it would make more sense. |
