Not sure it has been said yet but WOW what an incredible build so far. The computer rendering and joints are unreal. Looks like they were laser welded. Definitely following this one.

Thanks guys !

Some pics of the chassis assembled with all the parts made since the start of the fabrication:

























Now I have to make the top steering linkage arms and then I proceed to the transmission fabrication.

I'm disappointed that you didn't fabricate your own axle housings!!! This is RC crawler art at it's finest.

^LOL^......Sir, your work is so impressive. Meticulously makes me sick that I cannot do the same. What type of tools do you work with to get such fine detail?

Thanks gentlemen !

All the steering linkage is done but I needed to move the drag link above the knuckle arm and bend it a little bit for a good clearence and a good working of the rod ends:





Next step, the machining of the transmission parts.
