Ground clearance is good, in that build you have TOO much Belly clearance which is making the truck top heavy. The goal in competitive crawling is a low Center of Gravity and the weight placed low to gain a low center of gravity.

The K2-3L and K2-3S are both good, the only difference is the length of the rails. Both would be better than hand cut chassis, I like the quality of the one I had.

I would go with the K2-3l. Here's a pic of mine with 1.9 mashers on it. like everybody esle said you don't want it to high. You will be very happy with this chassis.

Set up the same, either chassis would have the same ground clearance. One is just shorter than the other.


The only question is what wheelbase you want.................and the "you want" should be emphasized here. From your research, or just want/desire, what wheelbase do you want your rig to be?

Other than wheelbase, what opinions are there to give?
