|  What to do?
I just picked up all these parts for a screaming deal- Intigy 55t motor Tekin Rebel 2 SC Hitec 265 servo Tranny and drivelines Airtronincs Control 4 TXT axles 2 Batteries New rims and tires And one beat to hell crawling frame. Im new to RC crawling, i had the big nylint crawler, but alas it broke! But i got all these parts and want to build a decent rig. It moves in its current form but the suspension links are crappy and poorly designed. What kind of frame/suspesnion would you recommend as im not ready to fabricate my own just yet. Thanks.  |

Well the suspension binds and the links hit the shocks. If there was more of the original frame left it would be ok, but what is left is half-a** soldered and JB welded!

I would suggest Bender's SW2 chassis.  |

Can you go to a 16" WB with the SW2? Thats where it sits currently sits and looks good. It seems most are running that chassis at 14" and i think it would put the tires a little to close together.

Bender ran a super with the SW2, using clod axles with an 18" wheelbase. Adding a tranny and drivelines shouldn't be much of a deal.  Search "delrinator" in the clod forum.

Well i disassembled it today and the frame is history. I like the SW2 chassis but there is no provision for the stock tranny. The crawl ratio was fine before i took it apart, so i would like to keep the tranny instead of swapping to a stampede or R2. The steering servo isnt very strong so i would like to save the cash for that anyway. i tried searching ebay for stock chassis, but none available right now. Looks like i may have to build my own after all.
