Looks like a nice chassis but not really my style. I am either into scale ladder frames or tubers but then I have not done any comps yet.

I personally can't wait to get my paws on One
Rat, If you're not into comps yet, know wonder why it may not be "your style"
This is a comp chassis, and a sweet looking One at that.
Thanks Brad for all you do

Evem if I were into comps then I would look toward the scale type crawlers instead. It is just that the TVP type chassis do not cause a stir in me to want one.

If I did have to chose between this or some type of stick or torsion then this would be it.

Bender has some awsome stuff out there and the looks of this chassis tells me it will be a winner no doubt.

Thats funny.

I think the video of the chassis's performance speaks for itself.

Great job Bender. I may have missed this, but do you have an idea on price yet?

I tell what you can do. We'll put you and your tuber up against my 9yr old daughter with an SW3. But don't be upset when she makes you look silly.
By the way....these are the posters a lot of the members of WARCRC have been given by my daughter.

Yeah, it's getting rebuilt right now.
I didn't want to change much before nats so that way it would be very predictable, too bad I drove like crap though.

Currently it's running a mamba max and a cheap 55t lathe until my Axiom V11 hand wound 55t gets here this week. Axiom said that the new V11 are even smoother than their V10's, so I'm pretty exited to start running that. For my driving style a lathe motor with drag break works a lot better than brushless, even though I was running og revolver. The lathe motor on a mamba max is sooo smooth. I'm also currently running a 3 cell a123 pack, it's freakin sweet! I love these a123 cells. I am going to try some 8 cell 2/3A pack's mounted on each side of the servo (like Bender and Grizzly4x4's) when I have some time to build them. Anyways, yeah it's been updated and is getting updated again currently. I'll post complete info and some pics when I get a chance.

Question

Sounds great Wrecker,
With the motors, do you think the Axioms are any better than the Integy's?

I haven't actually tried the axioms yet. They are currently in the mail.
This is what I've been told though.
The standard Axiom 55t is comparable to a hand wound Integy.
The Axiom V10 hand wound 55t is better than any Integy.
The Axiom V11 hand wound 55t is better than the Axiom V10.
The standard Integy 55t is the bottom of the line.
I ordered the V11.

This chassis has been out for a while now. Contact BENDER on the forum and he can hook you up or direct you to a vendor that has them in stock.

Be sure to do a build thread when you start your's. I am happy to help you set it up right as I know a lot of other people on here are happy to help to. We can get you setup the first time around with a winning rig. Then you just have to learn to drive it. I'm still working on that one.

Here's a pic. I just used an aluminum plate about the same size as the vertical plate of the fatrock mount. I then traced and drilled the holes for the servo posts onto the adapter plate. Then take the servo with the adapter plate and position it were you would like it to be, make sure the back of the servo doesn't hit the shock. The trace the hole for the original fatrock lower servo post onto the adapter plate and mark the new upper servo post hole from the adapter plate onto the fatrock mount. Drill the two new holes and everything should mount up to the new lower position. I then cut off the top of the fatrock mount so it is even with the adapter plate. I also added a bolt through the back of the fatrock mount and the adapter plate even with the upper servo post hole, this prevented the adapter plate from flexing when the servo was binding. If this doesn't make sense or if you would like some more pics just let me know.

Now that is something I never thought of. I'm doing this now to my trail truck. Great trick Wrecker!
