a chassis here a chassis there, everywhere i look a diffrent chassis

Semi Pro · 11-07-2009, 01:31 AM

so i want to buy an upgraded chassis but im really in the dark about whats the best chassis i can buy.

i know alot of people have the bender swx, but what about the TCS Edge or that gatekeeper GC-2 ?

is there really such thing as a best chassis?

some info about me and my truck if it helps

i have an ax10 artr, 3cell lipo,mamba max, homeshobbies outrunner,RC Crawler 4 links,soft rovers

I have heard very good things about both the Gatekeeper and the swx. I personally went with the swx after some research on how i like to run my rigs (droop). I was told that the Edge chassis is not a very comp worthy chassis by the people that have had them.

I think you will find that is starts to become preferance when you deal with chassis... there are many good options. Find a couple that you like the look of and then plug them into the search and start readinging the build threads.

DNA/BWD SLINGSHOT! Nuff said.

firekiddc02 · 11-07-2009, 02:07 PM

You also have the VP incision chassis. Like said before just find a few you like and research them.

Love my slingshot, can't go wrong there... I also just got MSD hybird comp chassis a few weeks ago. So I don't know how it performs yet, but it's wicked skinny and tons of links/shock mounting options.

TruckerBrad · 11-07-2009, 03:42 PM

I've been running the MSD Hybrid chassis and love it. There is plenty of adjustibility as far as the links and shocks are concerned. I have mine set up 50/50 with 96mm links (12.5" WB) but using same length uppers and lowers it can be set up 60/40 very easily. And like Mudsy said, it's super narrow with a small skid to protect the motor. Harley designed one hell of a chassis with the Hybrid. At the last MTRCRC comp the top five were Losi, Losi, Hybrid, no-dig Hybrid and Losi.

went with hbz warthog / expensive but worth it

maveric · 11-13-2009, 03:51 PM

Sorry for the stupid newbie question, but which vendor's carry these chassis? I have seen the warthog and the edge,, but wanting to look more at the others.

I like my Mayhem LS2.0 Chassis. Works great for 4" shocks. Lots of adjustment too.

On sale now too.
