Nice looking chassis. I too believe it resembles an SW3. Was it Bender inspired?

As i said, the shock mount area shape i borrowed from an old 1/10th buggy, and the rest was really a progression from a design by offroader5 i made for the WK. I think the only real detail i copied from the man himself was the cut-out on the shock tower area.
I don't think Bender has anything to worry about. LoL. If i works anything like as good as i hear about his rigs i'll be happy. (If it's crap, an order could be on the way).

Looks great. Nice hand fabricating skills.

I think you did a great job. Like I said before I would buy one Ilike it that much

Thanks for the good comments guys. I'm really pleased with the build. Just charging up ready to head out and test this baby on some local granite. Should be a lot slippier underneath now! No more hang ups on the skid.

Here's a couple of shots with new Traxxas Big Bores fitted, and showing the link set-up.

This is really impressive!
Especially the chassis.
What body do you have planned?

Thanks. Using the HPI Baja bug still.

This rig performed awesum today. I made a couple of lines that i have never made before. One particular off camber climb starting from a very steep angle of attack! I'm stoked, i really am. Just need to dial in a bit more front squat for the time being. Though it will be doughtfull if i stop there!

Some pics i took today.
