Default Grave digger bomber

For something a bit different I'm building a custom cage to suit the smt gravedigger body but going to put it on a bomber (or maybe wraith) platform. This is for my son who wants a monster truck but wants to drive with us on trail and crawling trips.

That is freaking awesome! Great work on the chassis! I can't wait to see this build completed.

Only the first mock up still a lot of new parts to get (longer shocks, more shocks etc) need to make a sway bar and plenty more to do then it will get power coated long way off yet

Not happy with the stock links so I'm going to have a go at making my own. I make s/s links all the time so that's easy with the jigs I've made. But swing arms for the shock to mount in is a bit harder but worth a try so this is the parts to be tig welded up from 0.9 s/s.

Finally got the trailing arms done hope to fit them up soon but also need to make new upper links to suit the new length

Comparison of new trailing arms to the old ones. So much stronger and only made form 0.9mm s/s and made to the length I required. With the benefit of replaceable rod ends for easy quick fix.
