Yeah, the chassis is still a prototype. Bender will be sure to let everyone know when the production version becomes available. The last I heard it's at least a month or two out though.

I'm not very wise, but I do know that the chassis being mentioned is not junk! I have seen it do things that seem impossiable. I have also personally seen it jump off of cliffs only to live for more!

What u got thats better?

WOW, i see you are a noob so i wont be too harsh, but you obviously do not know bender and his products, they are top of the line, he test all of his products before releasing them, and his chassis have won and competed in many comps.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that while Benders chassis keep winning. You're just jealous.

Anyways, the servo plate drop bracket is tmyjeepers idea, thanks Tim. And that last crappy pic was Tim's handywork also, ....I wish I could take pictures that bad.

Then I fished that through (took maybe 2 seconds), electrical taped the rx wire to the other end and pulled it back through and tied a not in it so it would stay, perfect! That whole process took maybe 30 seconds, could have saved a half hour if I would have thought of that method first though.
I just use a sewing needle and thread...tie the thread to the end of the antenna and the other end to the needle eye...leave the thread a couple inches longer than the tubing and drop it down through...then just gently pull the antenna through.

cool

dude that is pretty cool dont like the sw3 but it is cool


Hiha Waht a yerk he's indeed a jealous loser

---------------------------------------------------

I realy like the simple desing of the sw3 and the low COG,
Bender, if we buy a SW3 in the future can we get those slich delrin(bent) links as an option or not, I think those take the ths chassis to the next level
Nice Job and keep up the good work !!!

Not really a fan of tube chassis...they don't look like a truck, Jeep, etc...much easier to crawl well when there is no body weight up higher. There are only a very few tubers that I really like the look of...so I prefer a chassis that is covered by a body...same goes for 1:1.

Besides if they are both built correctly, it's like comparing apples and oranges...two entirely different beasts...

How many SW3's have you seen in person?

I'm sure you and your Nylint are tough to beat.

Dude, you really have no idea what you're talking about. I don't see how you can possibly say that a tuber blows the sw3 away when Benders sw2 (not even an sw3) beat all of the tubers at nationals. Proving you're talking out of your azz.

This statement is what you should have started out with the first time. You don't have to like the sw3 at all, and that's cool. Everyone has there own opinions and tastes, that's why there's so many different designs of chassis and tubers out there and that's awesome. I'll agree tubers can perform very well, gimbals tubers are especially awesome from what I've seen and I would love to own one. In fact I'm going to be building a 2.2 tuber for fun after I finish my scaler. I think it's great that you only like tubers, but don't dergade other peoples hard work and trash talk stuff that you have absolutly no idea about.
