Do you have any flex in the side plate? Would like to see a pic of just the chassis if you could? The top mounts seem sturdy, but it seems like the lower would flex the chassis, especially if you get the suspension and tires bound up. Let me know I'm getting ready for my first TLT build and I'm currently looking for a new chassis. Not to worry I still run CLOD's. Just trying something different. :? |

Thanks Bender! You get a really good sense of the reduced size of the SW3 w/ that pic. W/ your current set up, how much center chassis clearance are you able to get? |

Deflection in the shock mounts is a non issue in my opinion because I have seen very little if at all. 666 I think has done more clif diving than the rest of us but mine has taken some nasty hits and is still straight and solid Pic of just the chassis |

I was asking Ben about this but he didnt know, How does the chassis fit with a XL5 tranny, the spur gears are a bit thicker because of the new slipper setup, will it rub?

Yup, there's a little flex in the SW3 but it doesn't seem to be too bad. Brad, glad you're making the new mount/skid for the R2. I have one here that I planned on putting in the 3 since I yanked the pede tranny out of the 3 to build another rig. |
