I really like that idea you got there for keeping your wheelbase solid ... I'm gonna have to steal that idea from ya.. I've always hated fighting with that and trying to keep the axles str8.. As a matter of fact I'm gonna make a multi-hole set right now..
Oh and the styrene work Is looking good. The boggers are really sweet knocked down to 1.55's. Keep up the good work and I'm subscribing to this build

Thanks, I think I might change the direction of this build a little. What do you think of this?

Ya I was thinking about that but I'm not sure how they would work because they still need to be functional.
