Looks good. Those body mounts may get caught up a lot though. Just a suggestion but you may want to move them to the top.

Looks awesome..I would do a couple things to it though like the body posts,move the shocks to the outside (more stable).  |

my dad made them. he made a set for his rig and my rig. idk where he got the bronze. he made them on his lathe, but he did the wheel design on a milling machine at work. the wheel design is similar to the rc4wd beadlocks

If you want to upgrade to a comp worthy chassis definitely go with the DNA SSS http://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-...sis/Detail.bok It is an awsome chassis Ultra adjustable, and it comes with every thing to bolt it on and go It is all delrin so it is super slick on the rocks Just make sure you get 2 packs of these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHGB7&P=7Those beadlocks look very professional for 'homemade'. They are very nice Kieren |

X2 on that SSS chassis. I loved mine. very light weight. I can actually jump the gaps that I couldn'r before with my old school TSC Gopher chassis. You should try get it now while it's on sale 30% off on everything. It also may end anytime. So hurry, DUDE!!

Yeah you have to get it from dna rc. I think there are some other shops that sell DNA stuff but it would not be any cheaper. The SSS will get a little bouncy if you get your wheelspeed to high as it does not have any dampers. Think of it as a car with friction dampers not oil filled shocks. Other than that having no shocks is great as you can get a lot more steer and no oil. Kieren |
