get some clocked 'C's to get that steering linkage back up where it should be. looks like you made need to get it lower for the driveline angles too. Maybe go to a droop setup to keep the wheels clear of the body? looks good so far. |

The build is looking sweet, and it's good to see you beating on it like a good RCer would. ;) I agree with Foodstamp, those shafts are very interesting, who makes 'em?
