Mamba 25 ESC
Holmes Hobbies 1st generation Revolver
Hitec 645mg
Stampede tranny
Fat Rock axle C's
Moabs/Mashers

5/16" Delrin lowers, HC rears, slight 60/40 set-up

I've got video, I'll try and get it uploaded/posted tonight. Testers feel free to post your builds.

Sweet! I was wondering how long before I could post some pics

The SW3 may not be out yet but it is worth every penny. The highlight of the design for the dense is the two floating shock mounts. It looks cool but it allows the transmission to be removed without breaking the chassis and possibly your links down. 2 screws and you can easily change your motor out in the field or even change out the stupid plastic idler gear in the pede.

I will get my build up soon

Looks pretty cool, I like the minimalist approach

I wonder what it would look like w/ a Stealth installed!

I actually think I like the SW2 better. Will have to see how the SW3 performs, keep us posted.

Nice design looks like it's pretty good. doesn't have as many shock mounting places as sw2 though

I was thinking the same thing about the Stealth. Looks great, though. I am coveting those Axial wheels big time! Can't wait to snag a set!

The production version will have mounting holes for an R2. There should be plenty of room for a Stealth too, if you don't mind drilling your own mounting holes in the skid. As Slugz mentioned, the tranny pops out in 2 minutes with this design, and the production version will have even more room with a slender one piece motor side chassis plate.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

The SW2 is a great TLT chassis IMO and works with many other different axle set-ups. The SW3 is a streamlined version of my Nationals rig, and designed specifically for a 2.2 comp rig running TLT axles. It still has a little adjustability for 60/40 link set-ups too.

Unless DJ has something under wraps, the NM crew always gets left out for these cool tests.

The sw3 will not disappoint.... Mine is extremely capable. The SW2 is an amazing chassis, just no as comp specific. Can't wait to see/ get the final production version Bender!
