Thank you Adam for the support and an amazing video! Very nice build! I always suggest a lizard pro and a galaxy 250 3s battery for electronic layout. Also a nice oil shock will bring the side hill up tremendously. If I were you I would try the hot racing 43mm oil or injora 39mm oil. These will also increase vertical as well. Also if you don’t have any overdrive in the rig I would do some front overdrive as well! Again thank you for all the support! Mazz

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks Mazz!! I will try your suggestions and do some follow up content!

[@wingnutbert9685]

Just checked your site. Beautiful product! I really like your thinking with the angled link ends! I was gonna DIY my own links with similar bends as it just makes sense and hadn't seen any others do it. ??? Do you ship to Canada, and if so, can you ship via USPS? (The $ exchange adds 25% to the price for us. And then we get hit with import duties and tax on top of that, which really sucks.) Makes it hard to get the small designer products up here. But seems we get buggered a little less if stuff ships with USPS. Shipping with the Brown, Yellow or White companies will cause eye watering and soar knees.....

[@mazzdesigns6929]

@@wingnutbert9685 thank you and yes I sure do ship usps to 🇨🇦

[@UpperLeftRC]

Also I’m glad that front lower link got flipped around lol when you were handling the naked chassis and links I noticed one of them was backwards and it was driving me nuts lol but I also knew you’d spot it and flip it back around 😂👍🏻

[@CapeCrawlers]

Haha! Yes I caught that one towards the end of the install

[@bobbyherdman243]

I have a carbon cheat code. It’s wild! Made such a difference and the customer service from Mazz is unbeatable!! Quality products for a good price and fast shipping. Can’t beat it!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Mazz is amazing. The chassis has far exceeded my expectations and I solidly believe it's well worth the premium price tag.

[@projectc2]

I literally just bought this chassis in titanium before I watched the vid. Glad I got to see your review.

[@CapeCrawlers]

Have fun building! I am loving it so far.

[@UpperLeftRC]

Love my Mazz carbon CheatCode 🤘🏼great chassis and a killer crawler you got there!

[@mazzdesigns6929]

Thanks Dustin!

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

Awesome so glad you finally built one. Love mine.

[@mazzdesigns6929]

🤘🤘

[@chrisgartland4841]

Hey bud just built my 1st cheat code and loving it I use lizard ultimate esc fits on slider perfect put receiver on other slider battery on back tray works perfect plenty of room spektrum 3s 300mah

[@mazzdesigns6929]

Thanks Chris for all your support! Very good setup for batteries and esc!

[@junelopez9520]

Hmmmm I really like it but also like to give mofo some love. I will definitely grab one for my third comp build.

[@CapeCrawlers]

When you think that the mofo chassis is less than half the price and how good it works, it’s pretty damn impressive

[@charlieturner3099]

I haven’t read all the comments but - would like to see more caster in the front end. Will help add steering, for sure. Didn’t like the looks of the set up off the bench though she drives nice!!

[@CapeCrawlers]

Good news is that there is tons of adjustability with this setup. I'm still dialing it in as we speak, but boy is it capable.

[@Gibsonlife573]

​@@CapeCrawlers good way to stay positive Adam let's go get your mom and dad possibly named you after you know Adam and Eve just curious

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah looking awesome, Yep I’m here watching

[@alexwicke7102]

This is one of my favorite rigs!

[@mazzdesigns6929]

Thank you Alex! Means alot! Mazz

[@jhawk1985]

Space your shocks out on top to get them staight up and down. They will articulate much better. Awesome build man. I have almost the same build except I have a different trans and motor

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! I will give that a shot

[@JerrMin]

I’m going to get one when they get them back in stock

[@shanehall8447]

Dude makes like a truck a day LOL

[@napkinbandit5983]

You've become the reason on the back order for the lgrp front axels haven't you❤

[@CapeCrawlers]

It's quite possible lol

[@Gibsonlife573]

I don't know if I commented on this one or not but man I had soft another great one brother God bless you man you're doing great I'm so proud of you and your channel like you have come so far and so fast like doubled your subscribers and less than about 6-7 months I just got the cheat code XL and then I tell you another one is my hard Park dementor v2 v- dub slammed and stretch to the Gladiator length it is a animal I cannot wait to build my cheat code though I almost got everything

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Have fun with your build!

[@kennethrobinson9008]

Looks cool! Nice performance.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Yeah that is awesome it crushed everything specially Hells gate love it

[@matthewwmullan]

Definitely still need a 3flow9 steering roller link and front diff skid!

[@marcusmoore2852]

Adam I put a lizard ultimate on one slider and a palm bots 300mah 3s battery on the other side. Put my furitek receiver on the rear tray.

[@Defcon_One1]

Palm power batteries are tiny should fit perfectly on the sliders without hindering performance

[@mazzdesigns6929]

Palm makes some great batteries. Also give the Galaxy batteries a try if you haven’t already!

[@greggrube2948]

Awesome build Adam 👍 great video 😊

[@SoGoodRc1]

Great video Adam

[@americandeadhead5025]

Looks like you can take the top screws out of that esc tray and angle it down

[@mazzdesigns6929]

Thank you for watching! However it is not intended to do so. The fitment of the tray won’t allow so. However it does allow you to get the tray as low as possible and can even get it to touch the back of the trans to keep everything low and forward. Or for rear facing it move back and up to get over brushed rear facing motors!

[@americandeadhead5025]

@@mazzdesigns6929 OK, cool I appreciate the response. Thanks 🤙

[@BobbyTysol]

I got the sheaf code I do esx on the skids and the battery right in the middle to give me the balance and droop it needs

[@farmboyrc]

What do you think of a bronco with the nylon portal axles mofo has? I'm going to try them out and see how I like them. especially since there super cheap!!!

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

Mazz sells a similar set of axles but his come with cvd inners. And he has brass upgrades available

[@farmboyrc]

@@cardboardcrawlersrc8805 thanks for letting me know! might grab those instead!

[@wvlfkvnt]

Hope you try out a Komp King for Akers Engineering. I just ordered one for my first comp build. Gonna be a journey……again…..😅

[@andrewrichey7374]

Appreciate you sharing with us, One of these days I’ll put my mofo ugly chassis together

[@FPVDiverBomber]

I think you could put the esc/rx on its side on the slider? Need to glue on a base,,, but it should fit on the slider I think?

[@dimoichi5841]

Dose running bress axles, diff covers, steering knuckles, and wheel weights make any good difference for a comp rig? I would assume it would help keep weight extremely low to the ground also increased grip. And with the brushless setup you are running with that new carbon fiber frame should be the ultimate crawling beast.

[@jeffnewhart491]

My cliffhanger is cut clear up into the hood to clear my servo! Comp rig! Cut it up!

[@OkRC.crawlers]

What’s the wheelbase on this build? I’m wanting to put this body on my trx4m if it’ll look okay. My wheelbase is about 6.4in

[@DozerBoyRc]

Great stuff Adam!! Looking at that body, do you know how it would fit on the AX24 XC-1?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Thanks! The cliffhanger is a bit too wide I feel to fit on the AX

[@rcjoe406]

Cool 😎...you should cut out a hole in the front and let that motor show all its glory 💪

[@chrisregier251]

What’s your opinion on this chassis vs Texomarc slayer or new stk chassis?

[@RETR0_V0ID]

Regarding the C 10 and the deadbolt there doesn’t seem to be any videos showing whether or not the bodies are interchangeable and the wheel bases lineup so if you wanted to, you could make a video on them. Also, is it possible to get just the upgraded deadbolt rear links by themselves?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Yes, you can get just the deadbolt links.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Speaking of chassis & the SCX24 Gladiator, I saw that Injora makes a chassis for the 24 Gladiator, I'm kinda thinking about doing. 🤔

[@CapeCrawlers]

Same here. I might try that on my build scx24 gladiator.

[@RCCrawlerz209]

@@CapeCrawlers sweet

[@cardboardcrawlersrc8805]

You know the xl chassis you used for this build was actually intended for the gladiator?

[@RCReynand1819]

beautiful

[@Kpilato_21]

Would it run better if u had some spacers to bring out the shocks were they attach to the frame? So they are aligned with the axle mounts?

[@CapeCrawlers]

Possibly. I have some spacers I could try

[@jasonmowery1978]

Did you run your skid front or back?

[@JamesDirtRC]

Does Chassis have to be Specific to Deadbolt or other links ? Or can most rails or chassis be used by deadbolt links an such ? i am new

[@CapeCrawlers]

Most are interchangeable. Deadbolt front links are really short which can cause some issues on aftermarket chassis’s. Just keep in mind that manipulating your wheelbase will impact which bodies will fit (without cutting fenders).

[@JamesDirtRC]

@@CapeCrawlers You are the BEST... THANK YOU. I like the weight up front idea on the deadbolt, But should i just get the Gladiator ? Others have said it is the one to get. I Love learning. SO Thank you for your time

[@joshmcdonald4526]

I saw Beadlock wheels on your show that wasn't injora. But I can't remember the video or the brand😂. recommendations thank you in advance

[@CapeCrawlers]

I love the Mofo RC wheels and the LGRP beadlocks. Both are fantastic.

[@billc9635]

How many scx24 do you have, holy moses😂. I need to go bigger and stickier with my tires on my rig. What are your favorite?

[@CapeCrawlers]

I have a lot 😬 my favorite tires are the LGRP swamp kings

[@braedanacheson152]

Where do you get that set up table?

[@antonioenriquenoblejas7679]

are these a little more accessible now? every time ive tried to get it a year or so ago it would be sold out in minutes

[@CapeCrawlers]

The axles? They still sell out extremely fast. LGRP is doing better restocking but the demand is crazy by the looks of it

[@LARANUD]

Approximately how much did the hole build cost?🎉

[@CapeCrawlers]

All in probably ~$700

[@LARANUD]

Including transmitter?

[@LARANUD]

Hey Adam, I am planning to do the same build as you do you think it is worth it putting in a little more money for the Cheat Code chassis instead of the ugly af chassis.

[@CapeCrawlers]

After having some more time on the cheat code, I would say yes. The cheat code has really impressed me.

[@chad4030]

Going downhill should be added to the test

[@joshmcdonald4526]

Recommendation for tires?

[@CapeCrawlers]

The LGRP swamp kings are still my favorite tire. These Powerhobby trail warriors are great, but I can never find them (sold out constantly).

[@Swagmoneyfinesser]

What tires are those

[@CapeCrawlers]

Power hobby trail warrior. They're awesome but hard to find!

[@carter9706]

When are you gonna do the slayer chassis screw that cheat code a slayer is a way better performer

[@CapeCrawlers]

That’s next! Hoping to have the video up by Wednesday or the weekend at the latest

[@carter9706]

@@CapeCrawlers sounds good can’t wait

[@troypostie1252]

Cmon dude you know how it goes. Bn in the game long enough to know battery on 1 skid esc and reciever on the other. Getvrid of that furitek avatar...g7p from flysky or the new radiolink. Only 2 real 4ws transmitters out there

[@CapeCrawlers]

I know you're right, but I was trying not to get rid of the Tegu lol But I can just swap it for another setup.

[@yotday]

I’ve never been sold on the cheat code being better than the moforc ugly af chassis because of the battery placement on the ugly being towards the front seems like it would rule out anything else the cheat code has going for it.

[@mazzdesigns6929]

Thanks for watching. The battery placement on the cheat codes are made to offset left to right weight on the chassis. Motors most always are offset to the left so all electronics on my personal builds are on left slider and battery on right. This gives a very balanced feel. Please reach out to me if you have any questions I’ll gladly jump on the phone with you. Again thank you for watching!

[@Stealthfoams]

That gear mesh😬

[@i_droppeddead]

Best chassis in the game Brother
