Default Aftermarket Chassis

Hello,

I'm building a parts list for my next build. I was considering one of the aftermarket chassis. Does anyone have any experience, and like one more than the other?

I just put together a G6 with a steel version of the TSS SCXHR V3 and am very happy with it. Took it out for a run this past Saturday and It did well on the rocks. I really like the higher rail sweep above the axles as well as integrated shock hoops with this chassis.

Also take a look at Toyzuki's offering. I believe it's made out of G10. There's a few builds going on in the 1.9 Rig section that are using this chassis and it's got one mean stance to it. IMO can't go wrong with either.

Toyzuki Angled skid chassis with his forward motor mount is pretty awesome. Toyzukis is offered in G10 or Aluminum. All a matter of prefrence. I'm in mid build so I cant say much on performance except it brings the weight fordward and very low. My friend ran his this past weekend though and was very impressed with it.

I was looking at the toyzuki one in the vendor section and G10 sounds crazy cool. I feel like there is too many options out there. I also don't see too many people with an opinion after using several.

Thus one coming out from Cbercfab. Can use Scx10 or Wraith skids with it.

I think I'm leaning towards that one and the toyzuki one

I have the tss running trailing arms on an extended wheelbase scx. It's nice. I want to do a toyzuki frame next. I like the concept.

Here's what you can expect from a Toyzuki chassis. That's a castle 1410 directly under the skid

What would you say is the biggest difference. And how long have you been running it?

Toyzuki chassis. Everything he does is thoroughly tested in scale comps or with scale comps in mind where maximum performance matters. I may be a little biased since I know the guy, but seeing the R&D he puts into his products its hard not to go his way. I just got back into crawling again after a year off and one of his chassis will be finding its way onto my class 1 build.

I've been running the TSS SCXHR v2 and have been more than pleased with it.

I have a CustomCrawl RC chassis coming if the USPS can ever get it here. Supposed to have been delivered monday but still not here and the tracking number is not updating anymore. Guess it is stuck somewhere. Going to have to call and deal with some flunky at the USPS to find out what is going on, I HATE dealing with USPS.

we have one of the original aftermarket chassis for the SCX10 and have continued to update it. many have copied our high clearance design, but we feel its the best on the market and are proven with 100s of them sold and return customers. the only one that is a direct swap for stock mount locations, and with CAD engineered suspension geometry, not just swiss cheese holes.
we also offer a combo with a no snag smooth skid for even better performance

Differences are the angled skid obviously as well as integrated shock towers, cms capability on both sides of the rails. A couple different options for rear upper link mounts there might be some others too. I've been running this chassis for around a year now. My current setup is running single bend lower links front and year. I typically crawl right through spots where other guys get hung up.

What wheelbase are you running? I was highly considering the Toyzuki because of that but every bent Ti link kit I see is only for 12.3" WB.

It's about 12.5" I build my own links out of 3/16 stainless steel rod. I'm basically using rear lower links up front and a custom upper and panhard.
