Questions

[Moto26]

I'm new to the crawler world but having built many kits before I know the value of buying the best parts available and as far as I can tell people buy an xr10 and then change out every part. I want to build a 2.2 rig with rear steer. What's the best chassis, axles and links to start with and where do I buy them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Shafty?
MOA?
Crawler? (FYI: using rear steer in comps will get you pushed into the Super class, not legal for 2.2S or 2.2 Pro)
Trail Truck/Scaler?
Comp use?
Or just bombing around?

Running a body?
Needs to have a topper available to go bodiless?
Do you have a preferred vendor you'd like to go with?
Aluminum?
Carbon Fiber?
G-10?
Delrin?
do you have a shock length you need to stay with?
or are you looking to run a torsion chassis?

You'd have to go back and answer the shafty/MOA question first.
do you want relatively stock axles?
modified stock axles built for you?
you wanna do your own mods?
full on custom axles from the ground up?
is width any consideration to you?
any brand loyalty?

going to depend largely on what chassis, what axles and what rod ends you want to use.
do you have a material you want? (CF,AL,SS,Ti)
do you want to build your own?
is the wheelbase going to be at all important?
(ie it will if you're going to comp)

are you looking to get everything at one place?
or are you okay with ordering from multiple places?





I know, lotta stuff to consider.
But if you get this stuff narrowed down, you'll stand less chance of 80 different people pulling you 120 different ways.
Let us know which direction you decide you wanna go.

Moa, no body and I want to build. I have no restrictions as I live in ontario canada and have no where to compete. I just want to build an awesome rig. But I have no idea where to start. I thought buying chassis and axles would be a start.
