If I had a green star, I would make this my signature.

As a guy that run Dlux product, I think that you will be very happy.

Something tells me that he won't be supporting SMW anymore.

You da man Chumper!

So I picked up a Y-Town chassis to try the bodiless thing, beautiful piece of work Jake and Jess! A big thank you to them for the excellent and quick communication. Feels a bit odd being a die hard CDW fan soon to be running a Y-Town chassis.
I'm looking forward to having a curved skid plate like I used to run back in the day. Unfortunately it's probably going to be a bit before I get around to assembly, I'm super busy this time of year up here in Nor-Cal, the wife and I are in the process of buying a house and doing some TLC and upgrades before moving in. Here's a pic of the chassis and my recently acquired D-Lux Ultralight rear axle. Thanks for looking, comments and constructive criticism welcomed.


Dang Photobucket was supposed to rotate the pic, not sure why it didn't.

Edit: The photo somehow magically is turned the proper way now.

It's a Secret Agent chassis, it needs to be in disguise so no worries Chumper, it will have CDW stickers on it as well as SMW stickers. Besides, there weren't any Y-Town stickers included with the chassis.

I've typed it before and I'll type it again, CDW 4 EVA!

Edit: Double Agent chassis, sorry J&J, anyway it will still be in disguise.

It's actually a brand, not a tat. I went hardcore.

The problem isn't the truck, it's the owner/driver.

Chump doesn't like me, this is how he addressed the envelope containing the CDW stickers (stickers are covering my address).


New chassis and rear axle, weighing in at 1776 grams.

Still need to install some Krazed Builds 1100 rear tungsten slug holders, they won't mount up to the D-lux rear weight holders, oh well, I'll just have to make some new hangers or some adapters. Also need to shorten up the wires once I power it up to make sure everything is in proper working order. I tried bending the 7075 lowers that J&J @Y-Town sent with the chassis but two of them broke before 25* with a Ridgid bender.. Waiting on some rear lowers from D-lux and some narrower rear hubs. Trying out the HH SHV500 so I was able to dump the BEC which cleaned up the spaghetti a bit.
Looking forward to getting this thing out on the rocks but been busy with moving and work so it might be a little while.

Thanks for looking.

7075 is definitely a little dicey to bend. I've found that it really only works with a decent sized radius.

The truck is looking great though!

Thank you Champ!

I guess I learned my lesson the hard way on the 7075.

All the rig is missing is some Y-Town stickers!

Josh was the first one to put Axial universals in a Bully2. Starts on post#22

Hoppa's B2DA

He shows the bearings and shim he used to make it work.

Sweet, thank you!

I took a few dabs last night and this morning I woke up to find a driver in my rig.

[tapped-out]

I don't even know what a dab is... but I'm thinking you must have been blacked out.

[Curcal]

Haha i like it!

That dude's got a really big head, or a super tiny body....
