I saw this chassis at my LHS and figured I could make it fit my Venom. It came out good, and out performs my sons stock creeper (other than rovers) that I use as a base to compare. The best part is I dont have to buy or paint anymore bodys Let me know what you think?

joe dierte · 01-12-2010, 07:49 PM

Yeah sorry I dont know why they came out so small. Computers arent my friend:-(

colbygosdin · 01-12-2010, 09:01 PM

how much moding did u have to do for tht

joe dierte · 01-12-2010, 09:47 PM

I only had to re-drill one hole on each side to mount the skid plate to the new chassis, but I did have to play with links and shock mounting alot to get everything to work correctly. I still need to go to a smaller 3 cell lipo and mount it on the front axle due to the loss of the battery tray. It all came together very well, almost eliminated torque twist and climbs much steeper angles without wanting to go over backwards

What's the name of the chassis? Is is for an AX10?

joe dierte · 01-13-2010, 02:04 PM

Yes it was for a Ax10 and it is from RC Solutions I dont know what they call it I bought it from my local RC shop

I am really liking that steering arm setup you have. Could you explain that a bit more? Any excessive play?

joe dierte · 01-14-2010, 09:07 PM

It is actually a section of my old chassis cut to bolt on the knuckle and works very well. No binding no slop and has way more steering throw then stock due to the servo arm not hitting the servo body.

craigerk · 01-14-2010, 09:12 PM

something like that doesn't add a lot of top weight? All aluminum and plastic? New to crawling so trying to get ideas for a 'body.' Looking more towards a roll cage or tube chassis.

joe dierte · 01-14-2010, 09:49 PM

It is all aluminum, but is designed for a low CG and is very light. Comes in much lighter than a tube chassis but a little more than stock chassis with a body.

b00st3d · 01-15-2010, 08:02 AM

Im running a small 3cell Lipo that fits low next to my motor/trans. I also have a plate on my rear links that allows my fullsize 2cell Lipo to fit for long backyard sessions

Ya, I had to rework one hole on each side of the chassis but It was easy and you cant tell its not for the Venom

s14slide · 01-15-2010, 09:08 PM

why no front drive shaft?

joe dierte · 01-15-2010, 09:47 PM

good eye

Broke the front shaft on the rock in the picture. I replaced the stock ones with 3raceing aluminum ones and they seem to be holding up
