Move you lower links inside where they meet the skidplate.

Turn that lipo 90 degrees so it's not hanging off the front just asking for a rock.

Lipo's don't like rock rash.

I'm new to crawling so I have to ask, what is the advantage of going with this chassis? Also what lipos are you running as I'm in the market for some.

TIA

The swx chassis flat out performs. Its designed with comp crawling in mind, chack out some vids here on RCC and watch stock chassis ax10s and then watch swx ax10s. You will see.
As for lipos I use e-flite 7.4v and 11.1v 1250 mah packs. The fit just right on the axial servo\bat plates.

lol. its the swx chassis... which means the skid is cut for for the links to go on the inside

i would limit those shocks a bit. from eye to eye you should run anywhere from 3.5"-4"
