I shot some video today of the latest SW3 AX10 build. The shocks need to be softened up a little, this rig is a lot lighter then my TLT. I think the ride height may need to be raised up too, but I'm going to leave it for now. Once I get the VF dig installed and make a few more tweaks, it should work even better.

Looks like another winner.

JBHardwear · 03-22-2008, 12:35 AM

........Nice, Great video footage. What chassis are you running............lol. Looks to be a tough competitor. Love what you do for RCC and love your chassis's too

Rogue · 03-22-2008, 01:00 AM

Looks good!

Looking forward to seeing it, but not looking forward to running against it at the next comp!

Thanks.

It's the same width as my TLT, 10 1/2" out front and 10" in the rear. I think it looks wider, because it sits so low. It's only 6 1/2" tall with the body.

Thanks.. Looks good. I've been following your build thread on it.....Maybe this year you can come down here to OK. for Crawlapoolza 2008. I'd like to see it in action..

ussprinceton2004 · 03-22-2008, 06:54 AM

great job!

your videos are some of the best out there

Truggies · 03-22-2008, 08:35 AM

Ok bear with me. I'm learning hear. The difference is the chassis correct. its a Bender Custom SW3 and everything else is from an Axial AX10. So is it a 2.2 rig. is there a link to the build thread. I'm interested in building a superclass rig. if this is not a 2.2 would it be a super if so this is what i want.

Correct, it's an SW3 chassis, with AX10 running gear. It is a 2.2 class comp rig. The super class rigs usually run Clod axles and have about an 18" wheelbase with 4 wheel steer. Where the 2.2 class only has a 12 1/2" wheelbase and front wheel steer only.

Here's a link to my build thread on this rig.
New Comp Build.......SWX......New Production Pics!!

Nice.......

You do it well......Brad

You can see

really how much stiffer this rig is than your TLT.....think your right about the springs.....Youll get dialed in I sure....(Bad for us though...LOL)

But.....REally Great job on the vid and the rig as always

JUSTGOINGSLOW · 03-22-2008, 11:37 AM

Great video as always. So what do you think, is it a keeper, looks stiffer then your TLT though. I'm sure you'll have it all dailed in, in no time.

Natedog · 03-22-2008, 01:33 PM

Looks liek it works great!

Tanis · 03-22-2008, 01:41 PM

Works well Brad, a little fine tuning here and there I'm sure, but works well

TIMZKRAWLER · 03-22-2008, 02:13 PM

It's definitely a keeper. I had it working pretty good today, just need to soften up the front suspension more and play around with foam set-ups.

Thanks. It's a work in progress for sure, like any other crawler. I'm happy so far though.

Brad,
What can I say Man!
That is a great rig. Dare I say it, What is that smell? OH YES, VICTORY!
Keep building rigs like this and you won't be able to wipe it off of you.
