Hi there, after running my SWX chassis for 6 months or so, i feel its time for a bit of a change

It's loosely based on the YSS Clinger Crawler idea, and hopefully this chassis is gonna kick ass!

brilamb2 · 10-13-2009, 09:48 AM

so did you find the design online, or design it yourself? the plans i mean, seen the chassis before......

KRAWL · 10-13-2009, 10:15 AM

Is that a cantilever design on the front? I want a cantilever setup on the front and rear. I saw a guy on youtube with that setup and it climbed as well or better than a Clinger. Good looking chassis.

so if this is a compcrawler, i assume this is legal over there?
i dont think it is legal up here though.. i have some good feelings on settups like this..
ill see how this build goes first;)

Nice chassis Will, now you just need to learn how to drive.

A friend made it for me, with the YSS crawler style cantilever design on it

It will have the cantilever on the rear, to drop down and (hopefully) regain traction/grip to pull itself over an obstacle... Also im going to be running droop in the front, to keep that COG Super low!

You need to get yourself to comps more often, matey

I still bet you though, in my first comp, Without a dig, and you had one!

I want to see some video when you are finished. I bet it will climb like a mofo.

willashcroft · 10-13-2009, 01:15 PM

No worries

This will be so different to my Swx!
It's around 60mm wide aswell!

TSK · 10-14-2009, 05:30 PM

That thing looks tough. interested to see how it turns out

willashcroft · 10-14-2009, 05:41 PM

Got some links made like these.....

Mine will be black though,

Right, got my new chassis today, and realised the camera was flat when i tried to take pics, so these are just phone pics, but so far i am STUNNED with this chassis. 2 1/2" flat, standing alone, and up to around 4" held up (OBV going to limit it ;) ) But its such an upgrade from my SWX!

Hopefully beat some losi's at this weekend's comp

More pictures tomorrow!
