Default Building/Installing Benders Chassis

Look at this pic. Specifically the chassis. See anything wrong with this picture. After a few people guessing i will tell everyone the answer if no one figures it out.

And no one that was at Falls of the ohio today can play! LOL

Good Guess. I will add one other picture that may help.

Can I have another guess? Also looks like like the transmission is mounted backwards?

The entire chassis is backwards, the tires are too small, it has a lipo battery, and you need to go to clod talk if you are gonna rock the chrome axles!

LMAO! Yep that is it.

Kevin (old Dog) pointed that out today. I never noticed that. I even studied Benders setup while putting mine together. With the motor on the right side toward the back really SUCKS. LOL.

Anyhow after about 15minutes i swapped the axles around and got it fixed. Made a huge difference.

Just thought i would share my ignorance. Kevin, Chris, and Jeremy got a big kick out of it.

Good Job CSR!!

By the way, Kevin, JB and my self had ours out today and they did very well. I need to tweek my shocks more but i think i can speak for all three of us that these are sweet. Thanks again bender.

Don't feel to bad I did the same thing, I didn't realize I did it until I went backwards instead of forward.

Bender does make a sweet chassis as dispalyed on the hangover run. Yes they do work better when assembled correctly and it was a good laugh at Xtreme's expense.

The best quote for the day for the driver of a "stick" was "follow the 2.2 and you will learn how to driver"
