VF/DNA/BWD Slingshot CFX...NEW!

[billet works]

Here is an update, we have most of the parts cut and ready, just wrapping up a few things over the next couple of days to kit this guy.

Here's what you get with the CFX kit:
CF chassis sides
DNA original curved delrin skid
CFX electronics/dig servo mt/cross braces
Delrin links
DNA original universal/heavy duty motor plate
CFX upper link/servo mounts with posts for low cg option
Delrin steering link
Hardware

Retail price for this loaded kit is $179.00.

We will also offer just the side plates, cross braces/dig servo mount, and upper link mounts for existing Slingshot owners to upgrade.

I'll post pics of the kit and soon as the first one is packaged. This will also be available as a comp roller in a few weeks and will include axles, transmission, shocks, dig, and wheels.

Thanks,
Don

Hmm, I think i'll have to get one ;). What is the price on the chassis withoutl links etc?

[Wild Snapper]

Good work guys looks great. Will you be selling just the chassis and skid plate? or does one need to buy the kit to get the chassis?

[billet works]

The bare chassis with skid and cross braces/dig servo mount will run 90 bucks plus shipping for those of you who have or can make everything else.

Hey Don ,
This roller you speak of , will it be an assembled kit. I hope not because I much prefer assembling myself. Just curious.

We will offer it both ways. Your preference is of course just like mine...let me build it and figure it all out...prebuilt will help keep those who aren't mechanically inclined from getting frustrated with building and giving up before seeing what the capability truly is. Bowtie's vids definitely shed some light on what this can do.

Thanks,

Don

yes they are high clearance links.

you can see thier motor plate here...

The universal motor mount means that it will work with just about any motor out there whether it be Brushed, in runner brushless, or out runner. It's also thicker so it eliminates any flex that the stock plate has.

Bowtie and JAM have answered it nicely, thanks guys. That being said, I am working on a dig switch/servo mount to use on the Berg CFX chassis kit which will have a skid with no holes in the base. It is still around 2 weeks out whereas the AX version is nearing completion and beginning to ship this week.

Thanks guys,

Don

Do "you" guys offer a BTA (behind the axle steering) kit that will work with this chassis and axle servo/batt plates ?

I found this picture, but don't know if it your product or someone elses?

Also do you have a dig servo / reciever plate that will fit a HS645mg? I know its overkill size wise, but I like to run the same servo - so in a pinch I could just swap a dig servo for a steering servo. You can drive without dig, but you can't without steering!

I normally build all my own crap, but I really like what you guys have done - so I'm actually thinking I might buy it this time around.

I just put a BTA kit on mine from Jetboat, I have the now "OLD" slingshot chassis. Works fine I have everything on mine build but the new chassis and plates......waiting on a few parts to get here from Don then it's done.

I think thats CKRC's BTA kit. I think DNA needs to offer one as well though as there products are second to none. You will not be dissapointed if you get one of these Rick!

thanks for the information. can't wait to start building it up.

Ok people, here is a little video action for those who are wanting to see these new CFX Slingshots perform. Not anywhere nere as good as the videos Bowtie posted, but I liked makeing it. Still getting used to the way this rig performs. I thinks with a little more wheel time it will only get better.

[BOWTIE]

looks as if it's performing quite well.

I know I know, I'm workin on it. Unfortunately I have a ton of projects and have to make sure and see them through to full release and production before really digging in hard one more enough to announce progress. Just to give you guys an idea, we are currently working way too many hours on over 60 new products . We are definitely planning to stick around for a while. As for the BTA I'm working on, well, those of you who know me know I can't just do things the easy way...I have to look for a way to go above and beyond. All I can say is true ackerman BTA with 6 moving parts ...that's for AX axles. We also have the new BTA for Berg/Hot Racing axles that H3 is sportin on the Mantis 2.2.
