Default 2.2 'Mog build ??'s

hey guys like most i have replaced my axial comp rig and decided it was a good time to build a scaler. I scored this body on ebay for 11$ which is awesome and wanted to make it work. Looking to mostly just build and run with a couple other guys no comps yet.
Hand made chassis(obviously)
axial axles.
2.2 rovers
Tower pro servo
novak Crawler esc
axiom 45t motor.

I need help on the body location. Cab forward more? or leave it. I think i am gonna do velcro to mount it just a little uneasy of that much weight on velcro. Critisicism is welcomed for sure. THanks guys.

Maybe run posts up from the frame to tie it in instead of the velcro don't get me wrong the velco will work but once is gets all dirty and crudded upyou will be thinking again about using it. I would either run posts up from the rame that tie in to the body but are concealed enough to were the average eye would see them.
