Default Question on available chassis

I am getting back into my 1/10th scale rig and have been out of the game for a bit. Been digging around looking for a new chassis because my Vanquish Incision chassis broke. A few options that I am looking at are the:

El Nino El Nino 2 Shafty
Gate Keeper https://www.****crawlers.com/duratra...ed-p-2823.html
Wedge Low Pro AX-10 Wedge Low Pro - Black
or stick with the old Vanquish that I am used to.

If there are other recommendations I am willing to entertain them.

Thanks,

Tyler

I have a gatekeeper. Made a world of difference over stock chassis

Gate keeper has been discontinued for a while now.

Chaotic El Nino 3 is or should be available soon. That's what i'm running and the chassis is just insane.

Not only hat, but there are a handful of really good threads on this chassis already in this section.

You can also look for the SuDu chassis from NCD.
There are also a lot of threads about this.

Yeah the SuDu and El Nino look awesome!!! Do you have to run full droop, Or can I just internally limit my shocks with both?

With the sudu no droop necessary. Just a bit externally limited.
With scx shocks it is.
Its designed around scx shocks

Will the Axial 72-103mm shocks work with both the SuDu and El Nino, or will I have to buy scx shocks to make it work?

The El nino can accommodate those longer shocks no problem. It has adjustable shock arms that allow the use of 3.5" - 4" shocks without affecting the link geometry.

The sudu is designed around the scx shocks. But a bit shorter or longer will work.
Best is scx shocks or short big bores

90-95mm eye to eye will work well with the Sudu chassis.
