Default whats swx? and whats a super?

ok so i thought swx was just what axail called their chassis but im finding other chassis that say swx like some bergs. so what does the SWX stand for?
second question what is a super exactly? i keep seeing every one talk about them. is it like an unlimited class? i know ive seen pics of rigs that are ridiculously long so im guessing they are supers. thanks for viewing my thread

SWX = Shaggin Waggin - X This is a chassis designed by Bender who now works for Axial. The chassis can be used on ANY type of 2.2 crawler.

Super = Crawler bigger than a 2.2....yes, like an unlimited.

BTW, do you actually live in the zoo? Are you a giraffe?

Yep, Constant Velocity Drive. Google and the search button on this forum can be used to help answer many of your questions.

EDIT, The SWX question was pretty good. I dont know what SWX actually stands for.

Seriously, Shaggin waggin x? Really? Always figured it would stand for something logical like Super Wide X chassis. Nah still dont believe shaggin waggin. Would need more proof than that.

SW2 was the first chassis I ever purchased that I didn't make myself with a dremel, and I've run both the SW3 and SWX after that. Bender's been my hero for a long time

bender's first 2.2 rig was named the shaggin wagon
Shaggin' Wagon................The Begining of Stage 2
then he produced the chassis called the SW2
Shaggin' Wagon.......Stage 2 Build-up
then the SW3
My latest SW3 build........Good-bye Bug, Hello Grappler
and now the SWX is the latest reincarnation of the shaggin wagon line. he really knows his shit and his designs just flat out work. my first 2.2 build was a black SW2 chassis and even now with my berg and all the chassis ive been through, i still miss that thing.
