Default My Black SW2 -Project "Advanced Search"

Well this is a rebuild of my first build-Project 'Search Button".Since I spent a lot of time and I mean a lot of time reading and searching I just had to call it Advanced Search (I suck at naming things).
When I saw the black SW2 I knew it was time to "upgrade" from the stock TLT chassis that got me started in crawling. Tried doing the 60/40 or so with the links.Working out good so far.Haven't gotten a chance yet to really test it. This chassis is AWSOME! So much adjustability! Still waiting on a servo for the rear steer.

Specs:
black SW2
TLT axles locked,bearings
Pede tranny,bearings,alum idler and locked
pede shafts and yokes
T Maxx turnbuckles front,Revo pushrods rear,home made uppers
T Maxx shocks w/ Losi yellow springs
TQ3 set up for rear steer
Moped ESC
Towerpro 995 servo
HPI split 5 rims w/ 4oz stick on weights each wheel
G Made wideners
Masher 2k's
Rock Pleazer body
WB- a "C" hair over 12 1/2"
width-10 3/4"
GC-2 3/4"

Thanks for the comps! Been playing around with it to get rid of the torque twist.Its very minimal now.
I forgot to say that I mounted the tranny to the skid vs the chassis plate.That meant I had to cut the chassis to get the tranny to fit.This brought the tranny down almost a 1/4".

The search feature works again! I also have a SW2 that was assembled/tweaked with lots of help from the search button. Very nice setup, and that is the first CP i actually like, the paint looks great.

Awesome! Glad to hear im not the only one brave enough to cut up my chassis to lower the weight, I noticed a difference when I did that to mine
