I'm Swapping the Whole Frame - DSM Chassis Swap Episode 1

MEGA thanks to the boys, all of whom have sick DSMs:
Ken (Kung Fu Kenny) McDonald - @BlackSheepTuning
Paul Jaquish - @rivalracing007
Jesse Echanique - @jessegsx
Chris Lifesabishi - @Lifesabishi

The sunk-cost fallacy could be exemplified by purchasing a rotten, rusty Mitsubishi Eclipse for its built motor, and then trying to salvage that horrendous investment by re-homing the entire AWD drivetrain and engine in a much less rusty but still incredibly needy Eagle Talon. DSM for life, baby.

Wanna give a HUGE shoutout to Forced Performance and Artec, as you guys already know my string of financial tragedies precludes me from purchasing these things myself. Thanks to them I'll be able to break my drivetrain very efficiently.

As a DSM owner this series is amazing to see, first DSM video recorded above 480p im proud

[ChrisWalksFast]

You assembled the Avengers of the DSM community

[PrimalJinshaIttai]

At 11:20 when everyone showes up it just turns in a fever dream😂 especially the chinese new year part 😂😂😂

[arphmd]

The longer video’s playing, the more you keep me introduced to ‘more’ DSM experts. I was like wtf do these guys come from?!

[rcravincase]

DANGER TO MANIFOLD!!!
floor falls off

[RetroMotiveAdventures]

Kenny is such a cool dude! Always sweet to see people so devoted to a chassis and the knowledge about them.

[MikeStewardII]

So glad that Ben is going to do a chassis swap, he never keeps his roadtrip cars! Those DSM cars are pretty under appreciated and this is a nice change of pace.

[Garage]

Ayyy it's my boy Chris, Lifesabishi! Glad Kenny addressed the "crank walk bolt" and clearly knows these engines. Fun stuff!

[himynameiztony]

That could've been a 90 minute video and I would've watched every second.

[mentals]

Seeing Kenny like this makes his joke from the previous episode make more sense

[uhhhwhatdoipick]

lmao ben's dad showing up is just icing on the cake
loving the content, excited for episode 2!

[Onewheelordeal]

The Eagle Talon specifically was my dream car as a kid and I'm so geeked you chose that body

[VS]
