...what should I buy? I’ve got my choices down to three chassis.

The Element Enduro kit (when available)
The Vanquish VS4-10 kit with the cool trans (when available)
Crawl Space Game Changer 4 with trans and link (when available).

Currently have two SCX10.2(ish) based builds, used for trailing and comps, I’ll be handing one down to my son. So I need a new build. Any input? Thanks.

If your budget allows, the VS410 Pro is the obvious choice.

Crawl Space Game Changer 4 with trans and link (when available). In g10 it will have a lower cog. If performance is the goal. The toyzuki v3 is also a good option in the same range.
Depends on if you plan on competing and in what class also. And which axles you want to use.

I can't say enough about the game changer setup. I have a previous version on two rigs and wish I had the funds for a summer build with the new stuff complete

there is no wrong, just to what degree of right.

pick your application and the rig will sell itself

Shinchu · 06-14-2019, 12:05 PM

similar to above, depends what you want it to do.
you said your previous were trail and comp.
you plan to comp with this and "scale accuracy" is not a concern? go for that crazy plate chassis. seems way more capable and modular/compatability with other custom stuffs looks easy.

but man that new VS410 looks neato!

Never been a flat plate cralwer chassis rail fan due to looks and usually lack of rigidity. The Crawl Space website could use some updating too, doesn't tell much about the chassis (ie how it goes together, what braces/mounts you're supposed to use, etc) one picture of a stack of chassis, hard to tell what's going on. Might be great chassis, but the website doesn't sell it well.

What's your budget?

Have you seen the new SSD kit coming out? My money would be on that.

fr8cture · 06-14-2019, 11:02 PM

VS4-10 Pro is where my money is going. Maybe the SSD later down the road waiting to see what additions he has coming for it.

I would say:

- If you want a scale trail truck get the Enduro.

- If you want a comp truck get the Game changer.

- If you want a Vanquish get the Vanquish.
