Looks pretty cool! I love that you can make nearly anything you like with just the drivetrain of a crawler What are you going to do with the sheet metal portion of the chassis? |

I made that chassis, probly about a year and a half to two years ago. If you look on the aluminum center structure that holds the transmission and electronics you will see that my screen name and a serial number has been stamped in it. I can just barely make it out in one of your pictures. It is going to be a very durable chassis for you. I know because my sons and I have beat the snot out of several of them! Your right, it was made for a XL-5 pede transmission and TLT axles. It should go good with WK axles and four inch shocks. I've got a red one here that I'm getting ready to put AX10 axles and tranny on. It looks like someone has taken very good care of your chassis, hardly used. I'll be looking forward to seeing more pictures of your build. |

clocked the wk tranny last night and then decided i didnt want to go with the short links because the main chassis is long so we are coming up with a way to use a strc axial skid and then mount the upper four link to some stand off's keep checking back and post some picks of your chassis's | |
