Default ---Why does the Axial SWX suspension SUCK?---

Just to preface this thread: I have an SWX/AX10 axled SPORTY rig. I have a SW2, SW3 and a SWX that I am currently running. I am just wondering why so many people make the comment that the SWX suspension SUCKS? I have NOT heard or read any specifics.....just curious?

Can you explain? The SWX is a pretty damn good chassis for the AX10, it's just a little wider than the others out there these days...

The chassis works for me. I am just asking why because I have heard it multiple times and read it many times here on this forum that the chassis suspension sucks........maybe its just one of those Chevy vs. Ford arguments?

I thought it worked well my only complaint is the skid was to long for break overs

The nice thing about RCC is that hype is worthless. If its popular, there is a damn good reason why.

I would bet that most people who seriously complain about the SWX either can't drive or don't know how to tune. Is it for everyone? No, but its not garbage either.

I've never heard anyone say anything bad about the swx.

I would disagree about the skid being too long as well.


But I guess that's all just personal preference.

I'd guess that since it has shorter links, that the articulation is inherently limited. And we all know that more articulation is better, right?
