the only thing that bothers me with that setup would be the extreme drive shaft angle you would have.

who even buys chassis these days! Yeah its cool if you have money to blow on a chassis but that just shows laziness and noncreativity. And no one should have the excuse of "I don't have the resources." All it really takes is some aluminum, a hacksaw and a drill. what does that cost? about $50.

key word "look." Yes it does look cool but looks wont win a comp. I may be wrong and that chassis might work really well (maybe if you ditched the axle wraps and the sway bars) but from what I see, it could have been better and your better off building and perfecting one of your own.

you know sway bars can help if your articulation angle is too much and you don't want to move the shocks. don't forget that! Oh and for torque roll but i perfectly and completely eliminated torque roll for my mad force crawler! and it wasn't with a custom tranny to spin the drive shafts opposite. hehehe.

Well I think it looks sweet. It might not be the best crawler chassis out there, but its unique for sure. Nice to see something more then flat aluminum and links.

i agree, its for sure not as comp ready as most garage bashed rigs, but its purty. the dual cant thing is interesting, but as JIA said, i betcha it wrecks havoc on link geometry.

i was thinking of an inverted txt trans for my next crawler, i think its a neat idea as long as the driveshaft angles aint too bad.
