Looks GREAT! Whats the green tube that curves around in the back of the car?

The skid in my Axial is REAL simular except it's a good deal smaller. Running the double triangulated links is what I prefer.

I have no plans at this time to make a chassis for sale. Thanks for the props though. I think I will keep this a hobby for a little while longer.

the antenna for the reciever is running around the back of the car in it. Does not work too well. I need to change it up.

I have a couple ideas for the artwork. Not sure what I want to do yet. I have to print wraps for a couple 1:1 comp buggies tomorrow. I am going to try and tag it on with those running.

I made some body panels from black plastic. I dont like the fit. I am going to make a new set tomorrow from alum. Only thing is it will get beat the fawk up real quick. I will try and post up some more pics tomorrow. I am about to bounce. I think I have had enough Blue Torch for one day.

Peace...

this sucks.... it is a little after 11pm. I have been at the shop all day. I have had not time to work on the car today. I hope to get the body panels dialed in tomorrow. Sucks when you are stuck building the big ones all day and have no time to work on the rc. LOL

thanks for the props on the chassis. I wish I had time to build one for you. We are getting ready to move our shop. My time is going to be very limited over the next few months.

I made the body panels from DVD cases. I am going to remake them from alum. They dont look right to me. Besides I need something smoother for the wrap to stick to. I will update you all with more pics as soon as I can find more time to work on it.

O yeah.... one other thing. The bent lower links are stock AX-10 links. I put them in our press and bent them. It was very easy to do if someone wanted to make their own. Keep in mind when you bend them it will shorten the WB and change the pinion angle.
