good choice great chassis bender has some good work ahead of him

dont take tat the wrong way
but i think you should get into the scale area a bit and make a chassis like no other

Package received Bender. Thanks. Only problem is I didn't get one of your windshield stickers. :-( Any way you could send me one?

Excellent!! I'm out of the windsheild banners, and am trying to find someone to make more.

I was gonna edit my last post but you were too quick with your response. It appears the pede tranny mounts only to one side of the chassis. Is this correct? I had assumed you would use long screws between the plates with spacers on one side. However, I see there are no corresponding holes on the opposite chassis plate. Does it simply bolt to one side? Thanks for your help.

smokinubyrc · 07-12-2006, 08:08 PM

it should have came with some bolts and washers to bolt the tranny on and skiplate

You are correct, the tranny bolts to the engraved chassis plate. Use the 2 long 6-32 screws I supplied, with washers on each side of the plate.

Got my chassis yesterday and I'm impressed. Top notch work bender!

Rreceived mine yesterday. Nice! Second one... now I have to build another truck. Life is cruel... :-)

DirkDigler · 07-13-2006, 12:21 PM

I got to tell you! I like my SW3 better than my SW2. I also have the SW1.

I found it effective to use both washers on the inside of the plates.

I did that too, to space the front driveshaft away from the upper links. I think most run Stampede sliders though, I run the 2.5 shafts.

rcr3fan29 · 07-13-2006, 03:15 PM

I'll try putting both washers on the inside as I'm using the 2.5 shafts. One more question- Is it normal for a pede tranny not to bolt up "square" with the chassis plate? This is hard to put in words but what I mean is that when the bolts are tightened, if you look down the length of the chassis plate, the tranny appears to be canted about 5 degrees off of a right angle to the plate. I've looked at all your pictures and couldn't tell if this was normal or not. Thanks.

Muddy shafts · 07-13-2006, 07:44 PM

howd you mount the shocks to the chassi bender ?

Yup, that is the way it should be. The suspension pivot points in the tranny housing are on a slight angle, that's what you're seeing.

I mount my shocks upside down. So, the rod end of the shock is on the chassis. I space the shocks off the chassis with a spare ball from a rod end. I use fuel line on the axle side of the shock.

Excellent, thanks for the compliment.

Just posted some pics of mine in the TLT thread. I love the chassis, just wished you came up with the ano thing before. I actually thought about having in anodized on my own, but the $ vs. value thing. This is by far my favorite RC rig ever, better than trucks, buggies, pans, sedans. Guess I'm a tortoise and not a hare!
