Very nicely done. Where does one acquire aluminum plate like that? Is is a simple Lowe's/Depot purchase?

Nicely done man! I really like what you've done. I'm workin on a similiar project, a modded axial style chassis with more adjustability/lower cg made of 1/4 in. delrin. I just gotta find someone in the Denver area to fab it out for me. nice rig though ....major props. how does it handle on the rocks as far as sidehilling and vert climbing goes?

I like the link locations you have setup, looks like it is setup sweet. I have my stock ax-10 modded with similar link loations and shock location, obviously not as nice as yours but I know mine works well so I am sure yours does too.

Got my lockers in from stage 3 yesterday, they fit real tight on my hot racing rear straight alxles, still some slight play on the stock front axles but they feel really stout and heavy, after instal there is ZERO slop or backlash in my rear axle at all and only about 5 degrees in the front |

Some action shots, did supprisingly well considering i have no servo installed, i just attached the steering linkage to one of the servo mounts, it worked kinda cool - like the really cheap rc cars that we all may have had when we were kids - it went straight going forward and turned when backing up    |
