|  Diaz Designs dual pivot chassis. it took me about 20min to draw this one up. gulavw69 gave me the idea to try a 2 pivot chassis. the axle move would be locked out. what do you guys think? |

| I had an idea like that a while ago. The only problem I had was the driveshaft binding issue. |

| Nuts to the chassis, draw up some innards for those axles and get them produced!!!! Not realy a fan of the chassis, but for hardcore crawling, It looks like it would work fairlywell, assuming the pivit points turn freely. What are the pivot points made out of? I woud just be afraid that dirt getting between the plates in the pivot points and prevent it from articulating? |

| Looks good on "paper." Very interested to see it as a roller. Does it pivot on bearings? |

| Hey man that looks awesome. I cant wait to see it. Have you thought about leaving the arches in the front and rear and still using leafsprings to make it look more scale but perform like a comp rig? Versus mounting the axles to the front and rear pieces. just my 2 cents. I likey  |

| i could put the arches in the front and rear. going to get this design to work first. i know the pivots will work , they worked on the single pivot i did. i just need to design the attachment for the axles. i can use the stock mounts , 1 on top of the axle and the ones on the rear. |

| I like this design. I think it will work well. Get some video of it testing out. I would be really interested in getting one of these. |

| It's a neat design, but the COG looks like tit would be high. |

| I prefer tit's large, but high works too... As for COG, a laydown trans and some creative electronic placement, I don't see it being any worse than say a SW2. |

| Make a compartment for the battery to be below the trans to lower COG |
