What all are you planning to stuff in there? I just ask because I got my rx in the chassis and thats it. My micro pros are on the batt. mount that comes with the chassis and batt. on axle. Its a nice and light setup. Also, what size lipo are you running? Dont think you want the lipo that high in the chassis. It will perform much better by getting it all as low as you can. Other then that it looks awsome.

Could you put the lipo on the front axle. Its nice not having that as sprung wieght. It would make it way easy to mount the M2 and rx on the chassis. Battery access is nice too, when its on the front axle aswell.

Understandable, I had many setups till I got to this point. Now that I have a UGC chassis, it completes me.

I know that this is the xr-10 forum, but I thought that that ugc quit making these. I have been wanting one for my ax-10, but can't find one anywhere. Do they still make the fastback but just xr-10 specific? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

UGC is back in business, but only making the Viper chassis for moa axles.

Keep an eye on the classifieds, fastbacks pop up in there on occasion.

Not trying to derail this thread, but is there any future in them making any more shafty chassis's?
