I beleive it's a Sassy Chassis body, at least thats what it says in the back. I kinda like the way it looks, it's differant! It goes good w/ the skull chassis

Bent a link, broke 4 rod ends, changing from maxx turnbuckle ends to revo shock ends, they work better! And moving my bottom links to the top of axle tonite! They drag on everything!

I switched to a EVX speed control over my LRP, and i seem to have lost power and run time?

This is the first run w/ this chassis, i'm trying another as we speak!

Looking better and better. Need new body to go with the rest of the new gear. The CFNN looks great. How do you like the red rocks? I run them on my NN clod also.

Took it out to play today..... The Red Rocks SUCK! I don't like them at all, they bounce alot and just don't hook up! I had problems on smooth vertical rock that my moabs walk right up! Not the tire for my area! I think i'll play w/ them a bit to try to make them work, they might work better on a shafty? I'll post a vid of them sucking soon....
