Damn Todd nice work , this thing is gonna be sick when you are done. loce the frame, clean and simple. are those double narrowed traxxas bandit rear wheels dyed black?

theirs a comp this saterday

is it going to be there im trying to get back onto it i will try to make it out again

todd looks cool man cant wait to see it crawl

[halfcab]

went a little different on susp design, cut some white losi coils in half captured only on the axle end, the chassis rests on them for cruisin between obstacles and is still suspended, when crawling and flexin it out I get a bunch of droop, works ok so far, needs a little tweeking, had ants in my pants and could not wait, so of course as soon as I took it for a test drive the mail man showed up with my new shocks(still need to swap'em in), hope the links work

pics with the body on with lights
