ive seen a few in real life that look like that! i would drop the body down a couple clicks and de-anodize the links would make it look "more scale"

Body is too high and too far back. Your home-made 4-link plate on the rear axle is already cracked. I'd replace it with something a lot stronger. I've been wondering what 2.2s would look like under this body. Too big for my taste, but yeah, I've seen pics of 1:1 rigs with that big of tires under them. If that's what you like, then go for it. |

the rear 4 link setup looks pretty bad honestly. probably not gonna drive very well. you want the mounting holes for the upper links to be a little lower on the chassis end. you don't need that much vertical separation.

No, what people meant was lower the body ! If that's at full droop sitting there, the tires should tuck right into the wheel wells. Looks like you could lower that body another 1/2 - 3/4" or so.
