Default The SW2 became the J2-TT

Got done swapping over my SW2 that I had and built up the J2-TT. Looking forward to playing around with this chassis layout. I like the width of it and the higher clearance. I have to say I wanted one from when I first saw it in UT. I like the suspension bridge look it has on the sides.

Good job Pinch with the fit and finish of this very nice chassis.

In actuality it was really not that much work. I literally swapped the guts of one to another. The fade paint job takes me 10 minutes.

Between myself and family being sick and work I still have to get Christmas shopping done.

just so you know, most chassis designer's don't give out build specs, but if you must know, it is 24" long, 20" wide and 14" tall.

This is my nomination for tard of the week.

Drop Pinchflat a line. I am sure he would fore go his R&D and investment to let you build one for free.
