Default SCTE 1.0 chassis upgrade

so there are lots of options......which one is better?
The kingheadz seems really good.
Also the BCE and Jammin look like options.

You can pick up one of the TLR chassis for like $40 right now. I bought one awhile back and it is holding up really well compared to the stock chassis. But if you aren't worried about $$ then the BCE hybrid chassis is pretty awesome. Makes it the same layout as the 2.0.

I've been very happy with the BCE Hybrid. It moves it to a 2.0 configuration and allows use of the 2.0 servo mount and battery holder to lower the center of gravity significantly.

no. simply flip them around (front is now back, and back is now front).

May as well buy the 2.0 chassis and parts. It completely changes the truck. Or, buy the mip kit.

Been running the KingHeadz chassis since it came out and am very happy with it.

Actually bought the original BCE and then saw the Kingheadz so sold the BCE.

The king headz is awesome really woke the truck up, little lighter also, and the center diff mounts w dual bearings took all the play out of center diff and made truck quiter..the chassis and mounts are a super plus..go king headz you won't be dissapointed.

BCE H1 Hybrid chassis is awesome. Just take everything off the 1.0 and mount to the BCE H1 chassis. If you get the BCE H1 Hybrid chassis you will need to get the SCTE 2.0 battery box, battery hold down, and thumb screws. Swap the driveshafts around and you are good to go.

Hey Guys Thank you for the Nice words Very Happy you guys
are liking our new H1 Pro. Some of the guys dont know about the new layout making all of the early series 1 versions obsolete .
we took our H1 as far as you
can go utilizing all of the 2.0 parts and awesome weight characteristics.

Want to put my two cents in here, we have several guys racing losi scte 1.0 trucks in NorCal,most are quickly learning that the 2.0 truck layout has real advantages over the stock 1.0 layout. BCE really went to work creating a chassis that utilizes the majority of the 1.0 parts while changing the configuration to take advantage of many of the great features of the 2.0 car. As well as strengthening the chassis. There are lots of great chassis's out there but they run the old diff,battery,servo tray and esc layout which requires drilling new holes and labor to swap around to the 2.0 config. Why not save your time for racing and bolt on the H1 pro the work is already done and it's amazing. Kyle turner is one of NorCal's up and coming local racers. He finally made the switch to the H1 chassis and has greatly improved his lap times and consistency. At age 12 this kid is killing it.
