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.

Trim your links down. I'm at 12.5 WB and bout 2.3 or so in GC.

RustlerHustler · 08-23-2009, 06:46 PM

Trimmed down the 4mm rod ends on the phattys with the Dremel and BAM 12.5".

Man this thing is really pissing me off. Can't wait to get it back together and run again.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to post any recent body off pics guys, just been super busy and it's been going through a re-build.

RustlerHustler · 08-24-2009, 11:03 PM

Well since I can't read directions I put the axels on the wrong ends, front in back back in front

Got that figured out. WB 12.5" and GC at 2.75"

Getting late, have to wake up in 7 hours so electronics placement will have to wait until tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the update

I just put a SWX chassis on my AX-10 after having a TCS Edge chassis, WOW is all that I can say. Very easy to install and I am now driving lines that I laughed about just a few weeks ago. Great job Bender!

difflocker · 08-26-2009, 04:03 PM

When is Axial going to put this thread into print as a tuner guide for the SWX? Almost 50 pages and tons of hits....keep it going Brad

Nerve · 09-02-2009, 04:53 AM

Hmmm, looks like today is the day the SWX was officially announced on this webpage.

Bender Customs SWX Chassis Kit

So, Happy 1 year of having the SWX available.

Congrats to Bender and Axial.

DeweyCJ5 · 09-02-2009, 11:33 AM

yes thanks again to Bender and Axial

Mini · 09-02-2009, 07:27 PM

Now all we are missing is some pics.

RustlerHustler · 09-02-2009, 07:51 PM

Ran my first comp with the SWX this last weekend and placed 6th, best finish yet. The top five all had dig, I don't have one yet.

The chassis performed great and really helped me get some lines that impressed a few people at the comp. A huge improvement over my stock Axial chassis.

Can't wait to change out the Losi's for the new threaded Axial shocks I picked up the other day.

Thanks for designing a great product

Marko · 09-02-2009, 07:57 PM

Congrats on the 6th place finish. Bryan Crofts is the guy to beat nowa days. Keep up the good work!

RustlerHustler · 09-02-2009, 10:32 PM

Yeah Bryan is a great driver. Justin has been on fire also. It's nice to have such top quality guys to compete against in our local comps. Really steps up the game

crawl rookie · 09-05-2009, 09:36 AM

Hi Bender,

Question:
-Do you still use the axial CVD's and if so how are they holding up in your rig?

Thanks Brad,

Take care

ABOW · 09-09-2009, 06:06 PM

I was just wondering what a good suspention setup, just worndering what shocks you run? and what spring?

jimbiss · 09-10-2009, 11:19 AM

So what are you running for steering? When we going to see new pics?

ABOW · 10-13-2009, 03:38 PM

Lets some up dates !!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE?

difflocker · 11-13-2009, 02:35 PM

SWX, with Axial COMP shocks= super smooth/consistent articulation.

BENDER · 12-15-2009, 06:14 PM

Thanks for the compliments on the chassis guys, glad to hear they are working good for you.

Sorry I haven't updated this thread in a while with fresh pics, but it really doesn't look much different from the last pics I posted.

Here is a pic of the newest latest greatest thing to happen to this build though.

666 · 12-15-2009, 06:23 PM
