Building my Ultimate RC Crawler Chassis: Insane Performance & Custom Design!

The Vanquish VRD RC crawler chassis kit is already one of the best rc crawler chassis on the market given how much value and performance the kit has, however I always feel to need to “hot rod” everything. So with some basic tracing tools, I set off to design my own set of rc crawler chassis rails to better understand how the link geometry and shock positioning affect the performance of the rc crawler. I have never played much with angled skid rc crawlers and I want to make some changes to the already awesome Vanquish VRD to see what, if any, performance could be extracted. I modified the link positioning and shock positions along with reducing more weight and raising the skid for more belly clearance. This first rendition turned out pretty awesome so I took it out to the rocks to see how it would perform compared to the stock form and I’ve got to say that this is by far the best rc crawler chassis that I have ever driven, it was glued to the rocks and definitely had me chuckling like a little kid as it clawed its way up seemingly impossible lines.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video on my rc crawlers chassis design, let me know what you think down in the comments below and help me out with a thumbs up on this one and don’t forget to subscribe for more awesome rc content from Shredcraft RC! Thanks for Watching!

Looking to design a chassis myself with some high school friends. That chassis is sweet!

[@shredcraftrc]

Thanks man, it’s definitely a fun project to work on!

[@eljovenyoutuberpr]

You can call it “Shredder” 😂 looks awesome

[@shredcraftrc]

I like that one 🤙

[@driftcraze2138]

You figured out the name on your own. Elementary, you said it when you say Red Rock elementary it just kicked right in.💪🏻💯😎🤙🏻

[@shredcraftrc]

Good idea but might be a little too close to “element” the brand and it’s not necessarily an elementary design idea.

[@mpampis_o_fou]

Brilliant chassis and idea!your truck is cool!new sub here!

[@shredcraftrc]

Thank you! Appreciate the sub! 🤙

Like the rear tower height.. very nice. Cheers 👍

[@shredcraftrc]

Thank you 🤙

Shred Spec-V? Nice work!

[@shredcraftrc]

Thank you! 🤙

[@GoodTimeHobbyAdventures100]

Very Nice ! I built the VRD SA kit and ended up going with Brazin's Hardline chassis. I would love to build another with yours if it goes into production. How about the Shred Craft "💪FLEX💪" Chassis for a name?

[@shredcraftrc]

Hey thanks I appreciate it, thought about it but I can’t really justify putting this into production, it’s really just a learning platform for me and I’m doing it for a fun hobby, I’ve done a few production runs of my drift car chassis for guys at the track and the market is pretty small, maybe one day when I can create something truly unique but for now it’s just for fun.

@@shredcraftrc It's all good buddy. After all, it's all about fun !

[@shredcraftrc]

@ exactly! Had to get back to basics and teach myself that after a stressful 2024. 🤙

[@JPWirt]

Nice! I do a lot of my own chassis through SCS too (also not sponsored). My name suggestion: SC-OTT (Shred Craft - Over The Top)

[@shredcraftrc]

That’s awesome, SCS has been so great to use! Love the name suggestion, definitely writing that one down.

[@ronwalsh]

Looks awesome. Any chance of opening up the files for others?

[@shredcraftrc]

Thanks, no I never give my files away, I spend a lot of time on them and they’re never finished.

[@SaltPondRC]

Those rails look sick, nice work and thanks for sharing.

[@shredcraftrc]

Thank you 🙏 and thanks for watching! 🤙

[@driftcraze2138]

I always wanted to build a flat belly but instead I ended up with a moa 2 at that 😅

[@shredcraftrc]

Yea moa rigs are a little too wild for me.

[@slzbuildz]

Cool
