on the original subject of not wanting an extended chassis, is there an aluminum chassis that'll let me use a stock length body? I've got an awesome looking Crowd Pleazer 2.0 Muscle that is only offered in stock length and I don't want to have to get another body and try to replicate the paint scheme

well i had the posted the original question and had the hesitation of getting the FLM chassis, but i ended up getting one anyhow. wow am i glad i did. the added length really helps keep the power to the ground, it's really durable, and there's lots of room (LOTS) for batteries. there is a crowd pleazer body made for the revo 3.3, which fits this chassis. sell yours and get that one. :005:

if you read my first post, hardcore did make aluminum chassis that you may still be able to find on ebay, and they were a lot like the stock chassis but the batt trays were dropped about 1/2" to lower the COG. that was my only other choice (really) unless you can find a UE lightning. get the FLM - you'll be happy with it. i am.

lol - love the avatar.

bodies will get torn and be used, the muscle 2.0 is no longer in production (thank you proline)

i managed to snag one of the few Baja bodies pro-line made that fit the revo 3.3 before they all got pulled a couple months ago. not sure if they'll make it back or not. apparently they were having rights issues with VW (that's what they told me when i called them). :005:

Yeah, they where gone pretty quick too, I didn't realized it had anything to do with legal rights.

get the flm
 

the difference in lenth is about an inch most maxx bodies will still fit and as far as bashing goes They will replace it if you break it usually for the cost of shipping you really cant beat that!!!
