**SW3 Chassis** Bender Customs Hits Another Home Run
 
I have been running Benders SW3 prototype Chassis for about 3 months now and I love this chassis. In the last 2 out of 3 comps that I have run the chassis, I brought home the gold "thumbsup"

Some of the things I really like about the new SW3 chassis is the lower center of gravity with the new notched out center skid plate witch allows the stampede trany to sit as low as possible in the chassis. The SW3 also makes the motor and trany very easy to get to if you need or want to make any changes or repairs. Another great highlight of the chassis is is the sleek and light weight of the entire chassis itself. 8)

THE SW3 ROCKS :!:

Here are some specs on my set up: :arrow:

TLT Axles
Stampede Trany
Mamba Max ESC
Intagy 45 Turn Motor

RC4WD Super Narrow Bead-lock Wheels
Pro-Line Masher 2000 Tires

Very nice Dustin, and thanks for the compliments on the chassis. I've been watching the Cali comp results, nice job. "thumbsup"

Thanks Brad. This chassis is sweet :!: Better worm up that mill, I have a feeling you are going to get a $hit load of orders for this new chassis "thumbsup"

Very saweet! I heard about these not to long ago from moger... I think I may be trading in the bulu 2 to get this"thumbsup" I have always liked your stuff Bender, very clean and works awesome from everything I hear and see

STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER 02-25-2007 10:44 PM

WOW!!!!! nice looking chassis. it looks like it drastically reduces one of the minor prolems with the SW2, and that was if you wanted to work on your tranny you had to basically tear apart the whole entire truck. :shock:

also, i bet this would look killer done in some of that super shiney Dragonplate carbon fiber....8)

you know, just a suggestion for the production runs....;-)

Bender,
Couldn't come at a better time. Ready to build my next 2.2. When will these be in production?

Nice!

The front servo mount is a Fat-Rock servo/Battery mount. The rear servo/link mount is the one Benders sells, I just modified it a little. ;-)

Soon. ;-) :lol:

I'm getting closer, but have some orders I need to fill before I get started. Hopefully when I get back from EJS, I'll be able to get on them.

Tanis 03-27-2007 06:26 PM

Sweet Brad, I'm patiently waiting;-)
