Same question about 3013 and the R2 trans...I am running it with WK axles have different reduction. What is the reduction on TLT's and what pinion are you running in the r2?

I love the way sw2's look when they're cut down like that. Great job on the build!

Ive got a SW2 on order with Bender will I have to mod the stock chassi like that in order to mount the R2? Rig looks sweet.

no you should not have to do anything to the chassi.my chassi was modded to look like benders sw2. I found my sw2 to work better with the pedy in it

I ground out part of the lower brace so that the tranny would sit flat on the skid and then drilled holes in the skid and counter sunk them and drilled two holes in the other side plate. I also notched the plastic gear cover on the trans.

Check it out hear WK SW2 Build

Looks cool, where did it bend at hopefully it was just the center braces and not the actual chassis.
