Very cool Don! I only recently joined your ranks with my Super Wedge. But you certainly come up with some inspiring designs. Casey |
I have always been a fan of the Mantis chassis, I think this thing is great looking. Compatability with other axles(bullies,berg)? Measurements of chassis clearence,at the front of the skid and behind those killer rear links will be nice to see. Great work."thumbsup" |
Bump for an amazing chassis. Don how is that cycling video coming? "thumbsup" |
Extremly interested i'd gladly pay for a chassis kit in full right now if you're taking pre orders just let me know where to send my paypal I modified one of the original mantis chassis' for my xr-10 and loving how its performing but im having some clearance and binding issues any estimate on a release date http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...720_210117.jpg Quote:

At first..... JUST AMAZING "thumbsup" I allready had the Tracer and was impressed how much a torsion chassis suits to my drive style. There are only two things I would like to see on this chassis.
Thanks Bellmund carbon fibre battery plate http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/x...nbuggy/068.jpg |
Will the links be tapped for 4mm? I think I see traxxas ends in the pics. Please put me on the short list for one of these! |
I'm definitely getting one of these as soon as it becomes available! What all will I need to get besides the chassis and stuff from you? Would I need to get rod ends? Please put me on the preorder list! |

Keep in mind, the chassis kit is the chassis/links/hardware, the Dub upper is additional as you can run bodied or bodiless. Here's a few pics of my personal test rig...with my 550 mah 3s mount. Sorry for the long delay, I've got a ton of projects in the works and a lot of new stuff fixing to hit the store. |
Man it keeps looking better and better! I can't wait to get mine! How does it compare to the Wedge? |

Really? My Wedge Dub links were all threaded for 3mm and the stock rod ends. |
Don, these updates are just killing me with anticipation. Won't be much longer now though. |

Unbelievably nice.....I will have one !!! |
Don, have you ever thought about doing a combination kit to include wheels? BTW, Cant wait to get mine."thumbsup" |
Spent the day with Don and Jason testing the mantis and all I can say is badass!!! I run a BJ V4 which I love. Think I'm going to have to build another crawler. It's down hill capability is just amazing. I think he ran at around 4 1/2 lbs and it just stuck to rocks like a fat kid on cake. Thanks Don for letting me tag along. Just when I told my wife I was done building you come out with whiplash and the mantis. Oh yeah my wife says:flipoff: |
Wow! The awesome factor gets higher and higher here! ;-) I'd never think of sprung in the front and torsion in the rear, I always thought it was the other way around but whatever gets the climbs and awards I guess :mrgreen: Good use of 1-2-3 blocks... what brand if you don't mind me askin :ror: |
Thanks for posting Donkeykicker, the anticipation grows.:) |
