Build started like this add a little this a little more gratitous flex shot almost there overall ride height will be lower once I get the tranny in there and batteries and the rest of the shizzle, thinking of having alot of droop not much compression Let me know what ya think flame on Kevin |

No flaming required, it looks cool. Nice job on the chassis. It'll look extra cool with the body a touch lower. Cant wait to see it all muddy! rYAn |

thanks, I am nervous cutting the wheel wells larger, afraid I'll hack it it will be lower, kinda hard getting the right ride height with the roll of duct tape and a stadium truck tire body mounting system! Kevin |

I like it, Geolandars will really set it off. I thought the chassis was JB welded till I saw the bolts!

very nice looks very cool....I do have a question thought, with the shocks mounted straight up do you lose or gain anything?

It does have jbweld on the angle cuts to make it look like a bend. once it gets painted hopefully it won't look so hack Kevin |

I like it! Geolanders should fit it real nice, or maybe some losi smashers which also look good on scale trucks. Quote:

that is exactly what I was going for, just didn't know it would work out so easily. I will have to maybe cut a couple coils out of the tlt springs to get it to sag a little more for a lower ride height. does anyone know of a softer spring than the tlt that will fit on these shock bodies? Maybe a rc18 or mini t? You guys should quit with the compliments, I'm getting all moist over here. Kevin |
