I have personally not bought or used a 221 drive system in competition. I know that 27 (Rush) used the Super Light chassis system this past year and from my observations it ran perfectly. I have no idea if anyone has used the universal.

-How did you like it?
-What problems did you have with it?
You would have to get in touch with the people over on 27 for these answers.

-Would you chose it over kit bot on steroids? (a kit bot with 6in placation wheels and SS)?
I personally would use the kitbot on steroids based on the cost factor. The 2012 kit will most likely come with the kit frame.

Kitbot on Steroids:
Kitbot: Included in the price for the kit.
6" Plaction wheels: 6 @ $29.99 USD= $179.94 USD
Supershifters: 2 @ $360 USD= $720 USD
Total: $899.94 USD plus the cost of the kit and shipping

Universal Chassis:
Chassis With 6" Plaction: $1050 USD
Supershifters: 2 @ $360 USD= $720 USD
Total: $1770 USD plus the cost of the kit and shipping

-How did you do bumper mounts to it?
On the 221 website they show you how to do bumper mounts. Not sure if the sell the physical mounts, but they seem easy enough to manufacture in house.

Quote:
-Would you pick this chassis again?
You would have to ask someone who has used this chassis.
