I didn't want to, but I think I have to move my steering links from behind the axle to the front

Here is a quick update... It's operational now! Steering is all set as well as the electronics. Now I need to get some decent rims and tires and some scale items for the body. A roof rack is being made for it right now!
Here are a few more pics...

I think it's going to work okay I would have run it today but I think someone gave me the wrong wheel hexes for it So I still have to get some of those now.

I have no idea who gave you those

Yeah they were from a TC3. If you drill out the centers a bit they should work fine.

I got to take it for a little ride today. I really need better radio gear for it, the POS thats in it now just aint cutting it. As soon as Diaz starts selling the new leaf springs I'll definatly be picking some up!!! These aren't the wheels and tires that are going to stay on the truck either. I'm thinking of getting RC4WD's narrow beadlocks for it.
Here are a few pics before my fingers froze off!
