Are the shock hoops/mounts washers? That's a pretty cool idea

Yup the shock hoops are just cut up washers, I saw it on this site somewhere.

Colors??? Right now I'm thinking white top, and silver or metalic gray. Thanks

is that thing square stock welded? That thing should hold up to ANY abuse you can dish out. Are you going to mount the steering servo on the frame to keep it scale looking? I like it, looking sweet.

1/4 inch steel rod from lowes, or home dept........can't remember. Might be a little on the heavy side, but I'm hoping to give those leafs a workout.Yes I plan to mount the servo to the frame. Thanks for all the comments

Quick update: servo, and steering linkage mock up. I think I'll need a bit more drop from the servo horn area, but you get the idea.
