|  chassis questions
That chassis is a beautiful piece of work. Does your chassis require the wideners? and can you run the 24 series wheels without the wideners? or do they rub the links. Thanks |

My chassis doesn't require wideners for most rims. The 24 Series rims will rub without them, the tires hit the links and the shocks. I'm working on some more detailed build-up pics they'll be up soon. | |

looks great. Lot of engineering went into that chassis. One question though...did you compensate for owners that want to run the longer 550 can Kyosho Mag Mayhem? Looks like it would hit the chassis...or not even fit....? |

Wassup Bender??? the chassis looks great...I wouldnt expect anything less.  The chassis has alot of flexability, and looks like its easy to set up via all the possibilties with the chassis.....Good job...very nice...

Wow Bender this chassis keeps looking better every time I see it! I plan on getting a TLT this X-Mas and if money permits I'm definitely going to get this! Do you have any pics on where you mounted you reciever? I see you put your esc on the back mounting plate. Thanks.

| Update.........
Well, after endless test time driving the SW2 chassis I've tweaked a few things. I've switched to Losi red buggy springs in the rear and Losi white buggy springs up front, it's working alot better now. I think I'm going to stand the rear shocks up more then the front, I'm still getting just a little torque twist in some situations. I have added a 3/4" steel flat washer behind each wheel, for some added stability on sidehills. I lost a little wheelspeed because of the extra weight in the wheels, but it's alot more stable now. I may go up a tooth or 2 on the pinion, to try and get some wheelspeed back. I also had to cut the bed off the CJ body because it ripped in 2 places.

The chassis does come with the "BENDER Customs" banners, but the "Giving Clods the Shaft" stickers are limited edition.  |

Instead of going up a few teeth in the pinion/spur to get more wheel speed just run a 7 cell pack instead of a 6. You will get all the wheel speed you need. | |
