| Upgrading chassis?
I pretty new to crawling with my ax10-scorpion, so far my mods are a BTA with 4 link, al knuckles, cv axles, 100mm HR air shocks, rear bent links, and panther tires. The question is what mods are future proof in terms of chassis e.g. will the bent links I have now work with all chassis? I don't want to spend money on things that wil not work on the terrain/driving style. That leads me to my next question, how do you know which chassis will work for you. People on here have there favorites, I heard that the stock chassis is not the greatest (in terms of geometry). Do I really need a different chassis to be competitive? I am not competing, but I would like for it to climb huge rocks like i've seen in videos. Could my stock chassis do that or do I need to spend the money. Would a dig help more than a new chassis? HELP!! |

Grab yourself a Kamikaze chassis If you can't get one look for a CDW chassis.

I waited a looooong time before I upgraded my chassis, and that was only because I wanted to go droop. The stocker will work just fine and is capable when tuned right. Don't be afraid to drill holes. My old stock chassis is now more air than metal. |

| New chassis
I decided to go with TK- twister mfg, the small T-bone chassis. It was a good price, over half of what some of the other chassis cost. It doesn't have a lot of holes for the upper links though (3). I may have to do a build when it comes in. |
