Right on!!! Welcome to the Chaotic chassis. I highly doubt you'll be disappointed. Parts list looks good. It'll be cool to see how you do against my Aussie buddy Camo (Highlucks). J.D. |

| Bit of an update JeepnDougs stand offs Had to shave the revo rod ends as they were binding on the chassis a little Mock up build with stock stuff so far Waiting on the VP stuff still yet to order my motors , esc`s and Futaba 4PKS . Does everything look right so far ? I do have the skid reversed for some secret squirrel business . |

Great looking build so far! With the VP motor plates and tranny cases, you'll find you won't need the bronze bushings. Enjoy the rest of your build. I can't wait to see some pics on the rocks. |

Are the links hitting the chassis in the front or rear?
