The hoods are on the way. Extra panels we will try to do in the near future.

Reef on the one in the shop with the flipped/mirrored trans and motor facing forward. Does it have the slipper installed? I mocked one up in the store and it looks like the spur gear rubs on the vertical cross brace in the rear cab... It's really, really, really close... -Mike |

My Bastard broke the same tab in the rear. I didn't intially think I needed the factory spacer in there. Then snap brought it hame and rewelded tab back on. 1 other tab that broke on mine that made me areally raise my eyebrow was the front link tab for the front upper links snapped right off in the middle of crawling I was like crap why is this thing crawling like crap. Didn't see it till i got back to the truck. I have since sold the bastard But I still like it and will most likely get another. I would recommend welding both sides of the tabs. |

yup my top link mounts were starting to bend and you cant really run a standoff with shafts so what are you supposed to do, let them keep bending till they snap? I already welded all the inside joints and but some more tube in to stiffin stuff up but for those who want a good to go tuber kinda sketchy on the tabs breaking.

I sold the chassis to a fellow crawler and the Front tab for the upper link mounts actually split down the middle of all the holes maybe from flexing??? seems to me like tha bastard can use slightly thicker tabs and be welded up on both sides. No were not abusing it nothing different from crawling, occasional flips and tumbles. Not abused though. ANother Item that I noted on the Bastard was the lower Skid plate tabs were angled out, the skid was a tight fit and the tabs were still facing out. THey bent in when the skid and links were bolted. I love the look of it and it crawls pretty good but Quality is not the best in my eyes. |

I've got this car working very well with my current setup. If I had dig in it, I would have run it at our comp yesterday, it crawled the comp lines afterwards with ease, and even made one sick crack climb that no other car there made(including my comp car  ). I'm also worried about the tabs, but I've got a solution that'll take care of it  |

Let me make this clear I am not discrediting the Bastard. It is a good chassis. I think it has room for improvement. I've heard great compliments and some breaking here and there but like every product it's not perfect. I gave what I thought would be a good suggestion on the chassis which was thicker tabs and welded up on both sides. Now I get people PM me and say why am I discrediting the product. It's a Feedback Forum It should say POSITIVE FEEDBACK FORUM ONLY. You offered the other guy a replacement chassis. I didn't ask for a replacement chassis as it is no longer mine. The guy I sold it to didn't even want a replacement chassis we replaced the tabs with thicker tabs tig welded them on gusseted the chassis in a couple of areas where it needed it. Like the real bastard chassis it has gussets. I'm sorry if some of you took my post the wrong way. But I guess I'm just a prick all the time for saying what happened with the chassis I had.

Hey everyone, I got my bastard jr. a couple of weeks ago and also got the inner springs from rcp and put them in my stock axial shocks for droop, and am using 1000wt diff oil. I don't know if this is the same as torque twist but both right shocks unload when i start up an incline the tires stay planted, but the whole chassis leans to the left. Is this normal for droop setups? I have since added 4 link to the rear and mirrored the trans to put the motor on the side that unloads, but it doesn't make any diff, and all i can find on the search is the usual torque twist with the tires not staying planted. I can see a huge improvement over climbing ability with the chassis not to mention how cool it looks just the leaning bothers me. Any thoughts on other things i can try? thanks for your time and a cool chassis. Anthony |

On that note. This chassis is was designed as an absolute minimal weight, minimal size chassis. We understand that sometimes welds that look good can be compromised by conatamination and such. That was the reason for the replacement offer. It happens. So far we have not had a single chassis returned to us for replacement for broken welds, not one. It was designed for performance by the same guy that built the 1:1 Bastard so what you are saying is he did not design his own rig right. Any time you are ready to send us the $329.00 you owe us for the 2nd Hustler 2.2 chassis we replaced for you over a year ago, that you claimed your dog ate. You can send paymant to store@rcpcrawlers.com | |

Rockpile IF you want to get picky go right ahead. You don't like me. Oh Well. DO I need to explain the the whole thing again. That is why I specifically asked to pick up the Chasssis like I did the first one so I could just give you the old one. ALmost 3 weeks later after contacting you guys about my 2.2 hustler being welded WRONG and out of alignment. Rear upper link mounts were 1/4 inch difference front to back, that is alot on a crawler. I found a destroyed box near my fence line. My mail sucks here and the high school students mess with everybodys mail. That's why Speceifically asked UPS or FEDEX if you were going to ship it. BUt you didn't give a dam what I had to say. Yes I did find it a few days later. I sent the Stupid old hustler chassis back in the same messed up box. ALl taped and destroyed. I weighed it and put enough postage on it to get to you OK. I sent it as you sent it to me. If you got it I really didn't know or care. I sure as hell didn't keep it. I sold the one I kept for $100.00 That's what I thought it was worth. BUt if you want to turn this into a pissing contest. WHy do it here. Empty your dam PM box out and do it in private. I offered to split the cost of the hustler with you right down the middle. OVer a year and a half ago. IF you have a problem with me so be it. THats why don't attend your comps. I gave you my opinion of the comp location I told you what I thought of it, Offered to help with what I had and you and your Buddies got but hurt and banned me and My partner from socalrcrc.com. I asked nicely and politely to ba allowed back on socalrcrc and you came at me with the same stupid response as above. Get Over it. Talk about Holding a Grudge. SO WITH ALL DUE RESPECT *@#$ *@#. THrough all the drama with you guys I have always supported RCP no matter what differences and recommended to other people to support the hobby. No more money from me. I have spent a real good amount of money with you guys and this is what I get. I guess its TCS only from now on. LOL. I will edit this post later so there not be any drama where it shouldn't be. |

I'm sorry, I thought I was posting on the bastard jr. Support and feedback section not the young and the restless forum. I got one brief answer ( and I thank him for it). Crap like this is the reason people have to search through hours of posts just to find one little thread that mentions what you are looking for for a brief second before it goes back to trash talk. Use the pm for your spats.

You guys then proceeded to load up you trucks and do burnouts right through the center of our comp spot to show everyone your anger. Then that night you started it all up agian on or forum. And took it to the next level with name calling and threats. Needless to say every single person in attendance that day asked that something be done about you before someone, or somone's child got hurt. Quote:
