Seen it done already, you're not the first, your batts need to come down on the axles, and stars are not handed out. It looks good though

How are you modifying the Knuckles? If you turn them backwards they will hit the spring/link mount on the axle. This really cuts down on the amount you can steer.

Got pics? The Knuckle hits the link I can take pics to prove that.

Gadge and NitroDcotor you need to prove yourself before just posting.

I'll guess.

The outer lower link mount tab is cut off. Used the inner one to mount the lower link. His upper 4 link mount doesn't seem to be attached to anything like it's just sitting on top of the servo, I could be wrong. And it looks like the shocks are attached to the metal piece underneath the battery trays. I don't see them going to the axle.

Wow pics prove I was right, you modded the knuckles to accomodate it.

NitroDoctor's appears to have the drag link in a place that will catch a rock. I see trying to cover it with some sort of plastic tube to maybe help it slide more.

Gadge's looks to be more clearing but more work with more mods needed for that extra clearance.

EeePee was right.

pretty cool idea! I don't really see it worth all the work though.. I've never had a problem with the front getting hung up on anything.
