DP Torsion chassis for TT?

[bombagee]

Anybody running them? are they worth getting?

This thread might help you out NEW Chassis for Micro Crawler

I've been running one and really love it. I initially had the adjustment screws too tight - so run them pretty loose and you'll have some nice, but limited articulation. I for one, like limited articulation- too much makes my rigs floppy.
The truck will be lower which is great for COG, but it can hang up on pointy rocks because of reduced clearance.

I think the torsion chassis gains you control,simplicity and lower weight

Thanks man, I keep forgetting that micro crawler and tt are basically the same, gonna give that thread a read.

Yes they are diffrent chassis as you probably know so buy the correct one.
Here is my thread on the DP torsion chassis : Make your own torsion chassis...

I don't like mine on my micro rock crawler. It's stiff, probably because it isn't broken in yet either but I'm going back to a shock chasis

It's nice and simple though which is a benefit but I can't get it to flex

Have you tried backing out your screws almost all the way? It really helps

Yeah they are in by only a few threads

Maybe ill try boiling it like people say

[bombagee]

Well it's only $18 at thetoyz.com for the TT version, I think I'll give it a try and if I don't like it, just switch back lol

When i eventually get mine in the mail i too was thinking about getting the torsion chassis. To bad they don't make the dyeable one for the trekker. I may boil it just because to get a softer feel. Does anyone know if i could use the micro crawler chassis on the trekker or will the trekkers wheel base not work with that?

I think it'll work, but the mcrc's wheelbase is shorter then the mc4x4's

You'd need shorter links and shorter driveshafts.

At which i would be converting it to a micro crawler. Well i'll probably just get the one for the trekker. Thanks for the input
