Starting my new SW2 Chassis rebuild (pics)
 
Well after months and months fooling around with my custom chassis, i've decided to buy a chassis that has been proven good. I placed an order last week with bender. I'm somewhat waiting patiently hehe. I'll post some more pics once i start the rebuild on my SW2.

How did your old chassis work out?

I am in the same boat-patiently waiting for my sw2. Ok so not very patient either! Btw, i can only WISH my GF showed any interest in R/C. She thinks they are a huge waste of $$$ You are a lucky guy8)

I kept trying to be a cheapo, and worked at the chassis and different setups, but still was never really satisfied. Im going to try to make my new rig have a very clean setup.

Well getting bored of waiting for my sw2 i decided to get a f-350 body. Gonna add some A&M decals on it! GIG EM!

NOTHING BEATS TRADITION!

By the way, how are yall mounting the savage bumpers?

Which wheels are those?

And if your looking to toss out the old chassis, I'll put it to use :)

Can't wait to see it when you get your SW2 Chassis.

I used some screws and nuts that came with my tlt kit. Drill a couple holes in the body, put the screws through the bumper, tighten it and viola.
