Default Black SW2




Built up a black SW2 today....and some 1/4 inch delrin links. This black setup is such a nice change from the norm. Anyway let me know what you think. I will get some more pics up once I go through them.

thanks for the good words guys.

it may have seemed like a quick build, but only the chasis, links, body, tires/wheels, and other small parts are new. I rebuilt the tranny and axles, but they are not new.

I LOVE THE BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my black delrin rod from a place near Chicago called McMaster Carr and they have a website for ordering all kinds of materials and hardware.

few more pics.



dovetail...



The dovetail seems to hold up great, i just cut it, drill holes/screw it together near the bottom, and shoe goo it. After you dovetail it sometimes it bows, so I usually boat side it to eliminate the bowing. I have done this to my 2 previous rubicon bodies and they have held up fine, even after 20ft cliff drops straight to the body. another good thing about it is it allows you to sit the body lower=lower cog.
