Congrats on the new design Brad "thumbsup" I hope your first production run is a large One, I have a feeling you're going to sell alot of these. Put me down for One as soon as they're available. |
Thanks again for all the compliments guys, I'm glad everyone seems to like it. 8) I got the video uploaded. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/videos/62221-prototype-sw3-video.html |
Bender that looks like a sweet chassis. I have been very pleased with the sw2, if this one is better i may neeed to get one. Looks great, excited to see how this chassis changes rc crawling just like your last chassis!! |
My setup, Good old get parts anywhere bulky PEDE tranny! 16/84 gearing, 65 turn lathe (soon to be a 3013, this week!:twisted:) Mamba Max esc (best esc period) 5645 hitec servo Custom high clearance links set up you know who! Custom high clearance skid " " Fat Rock axle c's and battery/servo mount Moab or Mashers. Rc4wd beadlocks. Blue 1.5 rate springs up front Yellers out back w/ the special torque twist sauce. Lot's of hours testing, this set up has changed little since I got it together in October. It practically drives itself! What more can I say? Any questions? Thanks for allowing me to have the chance to test this chassis and I can't wait to see a few wup you this weekend Brad!;-) |
Brad, since you milled my 2 down, what do you think is the biggest difference between the two? http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...SW2/SW2015.jpg |

While everyone is saying great chassis, im saying that i hate you. I just got my SW2 done. Just kidding. Looks soooo cool. I wish i had waited on buying the SW2. Im sure this one is even better, even though I never thought that was possible. I like the part where one side isn't even connected on the top. Awesome work."thumbsup" |

I should have sent all but my test chassis out of state. Maybe then, I wouldn't be struggling so much this Winter Series. ;-) :lol: |
I like the looks of this chassis, Brad. The SW2 is my favorite chassis, and I haven't seen any need to change it. My 9yr old daughter took 5th in the WARCRC summer series running it:!: That has got to say something about this chassis:lol: I just sold her old truck and built her a new black SW2 truck this week. I am currently building my new comp tlt, I want this chassis. LMK when they are available8) |

:!: BENDER CUSTOMS SW3 :!: Here is a link to mine :arrow: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/tamiya-tlt-crawlers/62226-%2A%2Asw3-chassis%2A%2A-bender-customs-hits-another-home-run.html ( "thumbsup" ) |
She was a little sad to see it go, but her all new Black one is consoling her:lol: Just saw the vid Brad..........SICK is the only word that comes to mind."thumbsup" I'm going to have a hard time waiting now. Nathan |
Seriously awesome. Have to admit though, a comparison video of an SW2 and SW3 might have a bit better impact just because unless you know the terrain its hard to tell what is a major accomplishment and what isn't. If that makes any sense at all. |
Watch one of his many vids, many of them on the same terrain/area. I can see the difference just watching this vid once. I'm going to go watch it again.8) |

talk about out of the box thinking nice work on the chassis Bender, its by far the sickist looking!"thumbsup" and it something of its own its short, light and has a trick shock mount set up. |
FINALLY! i have been running mine for a few months now and i do like the overall design. there is some flex, but it is minimal and has no efect on performance. the cut design allows easy tranny removal and motor swaps, which is nice. love the slim black look. i will get my unedited pics up later of my build |
Nice"thumbsup" , Bender i want one, if you have a prototype i'll buy it:D , seriously lmk. |
sweet sw3 brad"thumbsup" i will take one too:lol: |
Yup! Sign me up. I need a new chassis. My current one is a PITA. $70 and it still needs to be modified to work....This damn chassis is costing me time..... BENDER!! Please hurry....I need a new chassis!! :-( |
These are awesome chassis. I love mine. You not only get more ground clearence, but a lower center of gravity and an overall lighter chassis. It has everything you want in a comp chassis. It really does puut the sw2 to shame too, which is pretty incredible because the sw2 is an amazing chassis also, just goes to show how awesome the 3 is. As far as trannies, I run a losi xx, tmyjeeper runs the xl-5 pede, and turtle runs a b3 or b4. So we pretty much have most of the options testes out and they all work awesome. The losi tranny made a huge difference compared to the pede though. I will never run a pede tranny again in a comp rig after seeing how much lighter and lower the cg is with the xx tranny. I'll try and get some pics up later of the xx tranny in there. Awesome chassis Brad!!! |
Thanks again for the kind words guys. I will keep everyone posted on the updates with this chassis. "thumbsup" |
Awesome job Bender i now know what my first real crawler is going to be. |
Looks nice but would be nice if the motor side plates overlapped or something so that they are tied together with screws. |
Looks great as usual Bender."thumbsup" But, is it a requirement to run the Bug body on it?:flipoff: |

As far as the bug body, I ran mine with a slammed and dovetailed rubi body for a long time until just recently. Your at a huge disadvantage not to run a bug body, they lighter, skinnier, and roll over effortlesly. |
in the fine print from bender there is a stipulation that "all SW3 chassis shall wear a bug body" :mrgreen: http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL85/.../229057929.jpg |
Yeah That is a very solid looking rig. I debated getting an SW2 over building a scaler for the last six months.. man I'm glad I went with a scaler now.. I'm SOLD on a second rig now.. So when and where will they be available? |
The bug body is standard issue with the SW3. ;-) :lol: Quote:

I've been running my ProtoSW3 for our winter comp. It turned me into an average driver to a top place finisher. |
