I'd say SW3 as well. The tech support that comes with that chassis it is unmatched.

IMO, there is no "Best" chassis... it's all opinion, you just gotta see what you like and don't like about all of them. Lay out the pros and cons of each, then the one that is most appealing to you.. that's the best chassis..

I think that HomerJ is correct. All Though I think that our SlingShot by DNA is the most capable. You could have the best components and the "best Chassis" but if you are not setup correctly you will be beat like a step child.

I would go with the one with the one with the most wins.... The GC-1 or GC-2. I don't think anyone can argue there. Of coarse if you are building a berg then I would go with a zero.........

I went with a GC-2 chassis on my comp rig after researching many chassis. This is after running a comp with a stock chassis and having some problems. I wanted something that I knew was tried and true, and something that some of the guys I crawl with could help me with if I had problems. Now this is just for my present comp rig so I can build it and have something to crawl with for now. However, I have two other crawlers that I will be using to test several other chassis setups. I will be trying the slingshot, blackjack, SW3, and a few others eventually. Personally, I don't think that there is one chassis that's better than the rest, because there are a lot of driving styles and a lot of ways to set up a crawler, so the best chassis for you might be a long way away from the best for me.

personally i love my blackjack, but im a little bias i guess. i know the GC1&2 chassis are awesome platforms.

if i was starting over on a 2.2 chassis i'd probably design my own chassis. but otherwise it'd be a GC2.

If your building a shaft truck i would say the GC-1 or GC-2 .
If its a Berg/OCM the Zero is where its at.

Yea it's all on the set up and if you can drive your rig, what works killer for one may not for another person, all of the chassis that have been listed are all top notch rigs so it all comes back to the driver and what works for you.

Keep an eye out for buildup threads featuring the Warthog. They'll be ready to ship this month and should be showing up here and there!
