Unfortunately I don't see any pictures? Just a photo bucket add for more bandwidth?

Pics work fine for me.

Are the shock tabs something you made or can they be purchased somewhere?

Here is the truck put together, not to start on some panels.

[justinart24]

Here is the lipo and winch location. I have a few ideas on the hood design, I am leaning towards a composite molded piece, I would make one out of styrene but when I create a mold I can quickly create a new hood if it breaks or etc.


I am not sure I will be using the Yeti receiver box but maybe a bigger box to hold the ESC and BEC. I want to ensure I can make some cool interior panels and a detailed dash.



The tube work around the transmission cover is a little tight.

I really like these VP limiting straps, I think they could help if the shock end ever came off during a race.

[justinart24]

Here are a few bottom pictures, yes....I need to finish making the top links.



I still have to make a bracket to brace the lower rear links front bolts so they don't take any impact.

I really like these MadDogRC.com light bars, there nice and compact but super bright!
