Talking **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

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.

THE SW3 ROCKS

Here are some specs on my set up:

SW3 Chassis
TLT Axles
Stampede Trany
Mamba Max ESC
Intagy 45 Turn Motor
Spektrum DX3 Radio System
Hi-Tec 5955 Servo
Fat-Rock Battery Servo Mount
Fat-Rock Axle-C's
JP Customs Aluminum Knuckles
RC4WD Super Narrow Bead-lock Wheels
Pro-Line Masher 2000 Tires
Vintage Tamiya Beetle Body
T-Maxx shocks
Traxxas Steel Yokes
Stampede Drive shafts


Some Pics:

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.

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

you know, just a suggestion for the production runs....

Nice!

John

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.

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.
