Doing a bronco build (in 1.9 section) on one right now. I am happy with the fit and finish of it.

Only thing that needs to be done, is you have to remove the tabs off the skid if you use the stock one. For stock bumpers I had to do some shaving for tight seams, however it would have worked perfectly with out doing so.

I'll be updating that thread this weekend I set axles, links and mocked up the shocks. It might give you a better feel for it.

I re-built my SCX truggy with the Kodiak frame and everything swapped over pretty well, used the stock skid, accomplished what I wanted to do, which was get a lcg frame and still use my truggy cage and body. You can tell in the pictures what a lcg chassis will do, which is raise the front and rear ends while dropping the center. I ended up with a shorter-looking body, so I may have to get a new body, because you can't "un-trim" a lexan body. The frame is very thick and makes your build super rigid. I also like all the holes for upper link mounts and shock mounts, makes life easy

I have had great success with there chassis. I bought the version 1 it gives you great options for your links and driveshaft angles. Also gives you a nice low center of gravity. Here is a couple pictures.

Those seem to have more holes than the one i saw. Glad to see some people having good luck with them

Yah he just started making a version two. I have the version one. I'm sure if you send him a message you could get either version one or two.
