What he said




We took it out tonight and it did real good. I thing it runs as good as my comp rig.. My son likes it a lot, He is going to use this as his new comp rig. We're going to put CVD's in front, rear straight adapters and softer springs next...maybe a little more weight up front.

Overall this is a good comp chassis for anyone wanting to run longer shocks. The skid plate set-up is great ..just the right angles for link placement. Next to my BlackJack this is one of the better chassis I've ran.

I like the chassis and the build is nice. It s flexed in your bench pics, but on the rocks it looks like it is resisting flex. Whats up with that?

I have some TLT axles collecting dust waiting for a chassis and a few ideas. This might be the one...

It flex's fine. I took the first 2 pictures just as it unloaded and the one that looks like it's standing on it's back tires is because it is. that rock is all most straight up.

I've had so meny people aks for side by side pictures with my BlackJack so here they are. Both sit at 27/8" ground clearance. The BlackJack is sitting 1/4" taller right now becaues I'm borrowing Brandon's tires & wheels for this weekend's comp.

Looks good! And good luck at the comp. Thanks for breaking in those tires for me. Just dont scratch the wheels ok

I would let you borrow my team rcc shirt to match the wheels but you would probably look like a stuffed sausage.

It does fine without the high clearance links besides I was to lazy to make them. I might do the front only.
