| Great looking set up on the chassis. Good work. If you have any axle sway at all just triangulate the upper links a little more to fix it.  |

| thanks guys.i ordered the proline chevy body with cage.also got their scale accesories too and traxxas summit bumpers.the tires re 1.9's.by axle sway do you mean side to side motion?how do you triangulate?i didnt like the wheelbase at first so i found some 1/4 inch spacers at LOEWS.when i get the lower rear links on the wheelbase will be at 11.5.i hope its enough for the body which has a 12.5 wheelbase.also in pic you can see my "custom" lexan plate for receiver and esc.i picked up a small piece at LOEWS along with a 90 degree aluminum stick.just cut to size and bolted it to chassis with 4 screws.i have a axial battery tray from one of their crawlers on the way to mount my 6 cell.think im gonna go with banebots and a moped esc for power.not really worried about speed. |

| Yes, axle sway is side to side movement of the axle. |

| Looks good to me. Its kinda funny. The body and cage cost about as much as the CC itself. It actually cost more if you got a prebuilt.  |

| this build has totally blown the budget.i only used the axles from the cc.the good thing is i sold my HPI FLUX and used the cash from that plus the parts from the cc i sold on ebay.i would have been better off just buying axles and trans and building from there. |
