|  super stick help
I am planning on building a stick cawler and was wanting to know what style frame is better the round tube with shocks or a piece of aluminm u-channel. I have a piece of u-channel i was thinking of using. is there any pros & cons to using this style frame or should i spend the money on the tube style?

the u-channel frame that you are referring to is a "pimpcane" sold by jpcustomrcs.com the "stick" is sold by tcscrawlers.com these are 2 completely different style of chassis and work differently in different circumstances. the stick does require some tuning w/ shocks and springs, but the pimpcane requires no set-up other than tires and foams. the pimp cane is better for someone who doesnt want to tackle any tuning and is also far cheaper. both are great chassis. |

The square stock wont twist like the u-channel will. the square stock would work for a normal frame but the u-channel is the key component it the pimp cane design.
