Fun video, wow man that water was scary! I've been eyeing this chassis myself. I've never done a torsion chassis but I've seen them work well for some friends. Good luck and let's see some more videos!

I like the mantis - it´s a cool Chassis but you must love to drive an Torsions-Chassis

I'd like to see more videos of this chassis, how do you adjust the squat/anti squat on one of these? Yours seems to be squating a bit when your giving it power, is that where it works?
