Go with the Black Widow. It's a great chassis that gives you much better performance than the stock TVP chassis. Tubers are cool, but take a lot of work to get them comp worthy. They are top-heavy, so you have to get the weight way down low and fine tune your suspension to accomodate.

that chassis may work well if your just looking to take everything directly over to it with out doing any modifications. not saying its a bad chassis but theres others you may be happier with depending on preference. the graphite though doesnt seem thick enough in my opinion. if its a TVP chassis your after with not much modding then you could look at the CDW LS2.0 which uses a sprung suspension. If you like factory side plates and also a tuber appearance then the TCS Edge may work also. Theres so many good options out there though for chassis's ....... its tough to say. personally my vote gos to the CDW v1.0  |

I hear the FLM SPV2 chassis is pretty good.  Of course the guy who designed it is questionable.SPV2 - FLM Chassis Build Otherwise I gotta say my DNA Slingshot is very good. |
