I've been lurking here for a few months and have aquired an SW2 chassis and started a "standard" SW2 build. Here's what I have so far.

hello! which is the reference of the low red bonds? how much does you measure they? thank you

rkrawler · 11-13-2006, 02:54 PM

They're Revo pushrods they measure about 115mm from hole center to center. Unfortuanately they make my WB a little too long for a scaler which is what I was shooting for. My Wb is around 13" with these.
The description sez they're 137mm from end to end but they actually measure about 126mm.

looks great man in the last pick are you using the stock tlt links as uppers and revos and lowers? If so whats the wheelbase on that

tmyjeeper · 11-13-2006, 03:34 PM

Looks good. If your wb is too long you can make your own links to fit the body perfect. Try the search button, I know somebody has done a write up on how to make links. You can also probably find some traxxas turnbuckles that should be close to what you need.

rkrawler · 11-13-2006, 04:06 PM

Yeah, I have the stock links for the uppers right now. I was hoping to use the Revo pushrods cuz I like the look. I was hoping for a red & black theme. Right now the WB is about 13".

invertman · 11-13-2006, 07:13 PM

looks good dude.
keep it up.

I am running the same WB and the LST /MGT bodies fit nice. The F650 body is prefect.

If you move the chassis end of the lower links closer to the center and mount them in the skidplate screw holes, your wheelbase will be right about 12.5".

It actually reduced my WB to 12". Thanks for the tip. Grizzlies rule...

you're gonna love your sw2! they are great chassis'

rkrawler · 11-28-2006, 12:25 PM

OK a little more progress. Got the driveshafts mounted as well as front and rear servos. Also put Revo turnbuckles on the rear. Got a Rebel 2 on the way and an SR3000 rx so I can set it up on my DX3.

rkrawler · 12-19-2006, 05:35 PM

OK, now it has electronics and is actually running!:-P

rkrawler · 12-19-2006, 05:37 PM

Tekin Rebel 2, 2 Hitec 645mg set up with 4WS using a DX3.
