Default future SW2 build

I'm planing a future second build of a tlt based SW2. The problem I'm having is that I cannot find a list of parts I should use to finish the build.

Before everyone starts bashing me, I'm know this is hobby and I should experement with different options but I would at least like a starting place.

If anyone has any sugestions of what to use for links, drive shafts, shocks and springs, or any other aditional equipment I may need. that would help me greatly.

thanks in advance

t-maxx shocks
stampede tranny
tlt axles
traxxas rustler rod ends
(if you get the tlt kit it comes with rod ends)



oh ya and use t-maxx or stampede drive shafts. t-maxxes are bigger and it requiresa littles fabing

My SW2 chassis actually came with a parts list and an upgraded parts list section on the parts list. Just order the chassis first and you'll have it to hang on your wall....or something.

Default mounting battery

Hey bender,
How do you mount the battery on the chassi, I see the zip tie on the front of the battery, but what about the back of.

also I saw the reciver mounted on the chassi with a zip tie in one of the pictures Have you come up with another method of mounting the reciver/esc?

I just use a battery strap/zip tie in front, with velcro between the bottom of the battery and top of the servo. The velcro stops the battery from sliding back and forth and the zip tie holds it from falling off.

I fabbed a small shelf for the reciever, that bolts onto the tranny. The ESC can be mounted on the rear servo plate, or the chassis.
