for a trasnmitter and reciever, i have a futaba stuff that i never used, 2 channel, t2ph transmitter and r122je reciever with crystal that i can sell to you if your interested..you can do like me and make a home made chassis or buy one, check out CPE Performance, they have good chassis with good prices, good luck with your build!

if you need links..when dezfan gets back, talk to him, he makes awesome carbon fiber links, or there are others that would be glad to help you out and such

i would seperate them, but i have to include them with the trade, it isnt hard to make them, get some brakeline (3/16-1/4") from autozone or so..threaded rod(some use 6/32) from lowes or a hardware store and rod ends (most use traxxas) from towerhobbies.com


if you want carbon fiber, search around yahoo/google search and the threads here for info and stuff

the tech threads on the home page tell you what you need

Welcome to RCC! There are many great chassis you can choose from, but I will not come right out and tell you to use ours. All of our chassis kits come fully assembled and include links. We can also offer carbon fiber link versions.

Our Evolution chassis is great if you want to bash around the yard, then do some rock crawling. Our brand new Claw crawler chassis is for crawling only, but features an innovative suspension that eliminates the need/additional cost for shocks and shock mounts.

Evolution chassis:


Good luck with your build and I look forward to seeing your progress with it. Thanks.

theres many choices on everything, its all what you prefer and how much you feel like spending, custom making things yourself is fun, but when you dont have access to the materials or the skill to do it, then theres cheap choices like the VS and the Evo chassis...look around the clod section, look how many made diff things and maybe try to start making a few things, its really fun to make stuff, even funner when you see it actualy work, and also making one off parts makes it more unique
