Which chassis do you guys recommend?

Im looking to convert a wraith kit thats been sitting for a few months into a monster truck. I already have 3.8 wheels and tires coming along with a 5.5t sc4x with a 13mm rotor on its way for the build.

The chassis im debating on are either the cpe barbarian, bwd beast or just using a wk chassis. I know with sway bars the cpe and bwd chassis are pretty much the same price, and going with the wk chassis will be much cheaper but unsure of which way to go.

I already have an scx10 that has a homemade version of the burly mud truck running 2.2s already and would like the wraith based one to be different.

Out of those 3 . Barbarian . I do want to build off or the Bwd chassis tho. Ashely King has been done . But needed to be widened to use the axial trans . The chassis was pretty flexy tho. There's also the ckp , the kk2 and some others . Even the redcat ground pounder chassis .

Ok if i use the wk chassis id be using the stock trans with hardened gears.

I am leaning towards the barbarian chassis. I think it looks like it would be the best bet.

I think the beast chassis looks a bit too wide, and finding a way to run sway bars on the wk chassis might be difficult.

I would go with the CPE chassis.

bwd beast, love mine it is a great design, love mine, i have ofna wheels and clod stock tires on it now.. but i have 3.2 big joes to put on it soon.

I love the minimalistic design of the BWD beast, if it isn't needed it's not there.

Glad I found this thread before I posted the same question! I'm also researching the available chassis choices for an AR60 based truck. The BWD looks sleek and race worthy, and the Barbarian looks to be more of a classic monster truck style design. Are there any others worth checking out?

The KK2 chassis by kingklod over on rcmt is nice option also
