|  Chassis choices???
I am not satisfied with my stock chassis anymore, my question is what affordable aftermarket chassis is everybody using?

I don't think that one was mentioned. I hope you didn't place your order in the 6 minutes it took me to respond!  |

No I bought it at a "game shop" aka hobbytown for $35 I got it home and built it, reversed my tranny so my motor is in the front of the chassis vs the rear of the chassis, man this sucker is going to take some getting used to!!!

While a lot of the other chasis are more expensive than 35 dollars, they come with a whole bunch of parts. Most include a skidplate, the sides, braces, upper and lower links, and some include the front servo/link plate and rear link plate. Not to mention the new suspension geometries are all dialed in for you. Any chassis that doesn't come with all of that stuff, or require you to make it yourself, is probably going to utilize the stock geometry. All things considered most of the options available from people on this site are a great deal. I just bought a GC3A with all 8 links, a skidplate, front and rear link plates, and braces all for 50 shipped. A screaming deal and one hell of a present! I know you'll never see this thread, so I love you Ross. |

Not sure if he is gonna comp but a ax10 / shafty will need a body. I like my 5th dimension sucker punch chassis. Bodyless Is typically found on moa rigs. This looks like a good one SuDu Mod 3D – DravTech Last edited by 351Beno; 05-09-2017 at 04:40 PM. |

I've had an unstuck V1 for about a year and the V2 for a couple months now. They are both solid but the V2 has better options and improved geometry over the V1. The V2 also has more beef where it's needed and the rear shock arms being adjustable is great. This old thread is great, I remember when I thought the gate keeper was good too. I still have a fiber version around here somewhere. It was really good compared to the stock ax10 but doesn't compare to anything these days
