I like mine, but as usual I felt the need to mod it. I'm not happy with anything unless I've dremeled it 3 times, drilled it twice, and thrown it once.
I'm with popo, go for it.

I have one. It's nice if you're just starting out. I felt the quality was a little sub-par (some of the holes needed to be grinded smooth with a dremel to avoid cutting yourself)

I've had one for awhile now and love it. Mine didn't have any burs or tweaks. It wasn't that hard to dial in. I made my own links so that migh have been why. I would recommend it. It survived where I rolled my TSC-10 chassis and bent it real bad.

Care to back up your opinion? I'd like to know why you think it is trash.

I am not discounting any of the other chassis mentioned, I just noticed that there all have the polished aluminum finish.

If you are mearly going by the "look" of a chassis, that does not say much about you. :?

ok, so I guess if you CNC a chassis it makes it perform better.

Perform better not necessary, But anybody can build what he's selling. No offense to randy but i think the price should be cheaper for what it is.

It's a nice chassis but the quality is lower than the other tlt chassis out there. When yet the rbx and the 3 i mentionted are all $65

edit. the Bulu2 is over $65, but i dont think rcrg will ever make more of them anyways.
