I should have the plates back from anodize early next week. I'll run them through the CNC as soon as they're ready.

awesome!
also what shocks do you reccomend running?
I have a WK that I attempted my own one off with the stock plates and finally threw in the towel tonight.

I want to be 2.2 comp legal.
but can't spend the big bucks right now so I would need a cheep shock set.

thanks again

Any replacement 4" (100mm) shock for the Maxx trucks will work best. You might even be able to use the stock WK shocks, if you limit the travel a little.

Great to see these on the market.

My 3-piece SW3 has served me well.

Thanks. It took a lot longer then expected to get them going, but I think it's going to be worth it. The one piece motor side plate is even lighter, and more rigid, then the prototypes. This chassis has dominated our winter series, not just in my hands either.

I can make some standoffs for you, the SW2 and SW3 are both the same width.

Some guys have gone this route too.

Yup, was a little bit of flex on that motor side.

Should've gotten on the wagon and marketed it as the SW-Tworsion.

Excellent news Brad, I may as well start putting together the fresh set of axles tomorrow night , I was going to just replace the chassis on Britt's SW2, but just can't bring myself to tear it apart, it just works too good to do that. Looking forward to putting the 3 on the rocks.
