i would suggest moving your front shocks on the diff end towards the outside more so your shocks are straighter, just an idea

Probably mounted them that way for better steering angles. That is an excellent build, nice work!

Nice job . Good clean install of the electronics. Looks like it could use a delrin skid plate so sharp rock to get hung up on the trany.

Nice clean tuber build.

That looks GREAT Nice size, nice lines, still got all the electronics in there nicely.
I never thought about dressing up my MIG welded tubers with some brazing work. Damn good idea!! I will have to try that on my next one.
