Default 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.

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 guy

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!

GO AGGIES


rear savage bumper




savage bumpers


not going to finish trimming till chassis is done


I got what i thought was closest to maroon, but turned out more red.....haha i guess aggie colors scare people.

thx

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.
