Thanks Craig, I have a template of your chassis and Steves, I have moddified and incorporated both of them into my own design. Mostly for link geometry.

I am really going to have to come up with something spectacular to top those 2 jeeps

They look and work great... I have a new body coming at the next scale comp, I think you are going to like it
