I'm currently running a mayhem LS2.0 and I absolutely love it. It was a piece of cake to get set up and it works extremely well. The machine quality is also better than average, which I appreciate.
I ran an SW3 for quite a while before that and it also worked very well. The SWX retains all the same link geometry of the SW3, it just has a little lower shock mounts, which is awesome. I also know quite a few people who have SWX's and love them. Definitely a good chassis.
The GC2 is also a really good chassis. Gatekeeper's (who unquestionably knows his shit inside and out) setup for this chassis is well documented, it wouldn't be hard to duplicate his setup and have it work great right away. It takes a bit of work to get the same results out of a LS2.0 or an SWX, especially if you've never done it before. I think it's worth it though
