The body was a pain in the b.. I wanted it to look used so I found a sheet of stainless steel, took it off one of these water coolers and started cutting it up, which was realy hard, then used a round ball hammer to shape it.

All the parts used are from an Axial scx, except the steel shafts and the axle extensions.

Rig isnt finished yet needs a lot of detail, just mocked every thing up fast so that it could roll, and my sons birthday was coming up had to do it fast. Thats why most of the bolts havnt been shortened and the interior looks like that, seats also have to be remade they are a little big.

If you are doing away with the pan hard bar then your steering issues should clear up some. You want your pan hard and steering lin to not only be the same length, but to also have the same travel path. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk |

I dont have a panhard link installed, you think if i did it would solve the lift of the chasis at full right lock ? |

That is why a panhard bar and three link suspension is needed with a chassis mounted servo  |
