ooo allright well the chassis that you showed me is a clod based chassis the gecko so i showed you clod based chassis i thought that u researched allready and that you wanted to build a clod a clod is truck that tamiya an rc car manufacture came out with a long time ago in the 70's some people as i myself bought the truck just for the axles and have the rest left over you can build any rig you want with any axle and body combinations or you can buy just the clod axles or you can buy clod axle that have been upgraded allready http://www.rcpcrawlers.com/product.p...age=1&featured |

or you can build a tlt based rig ends up being cheaper in my opinion and you can buy parts and have it allready comp ready you dont need to buy stuff and then have to upgrade you buy things to make it crazy good for comps right from the start if your wallet allows |

Bender sw3 chassis with tlt or wheely king axles. That is what I would do. For $180 you could have the axles and chassis. Thats just my 2 cents.
