Default Custom Chassis!!!!

I got bored this weekend and built some carbon suspension links and a aluminum chassis. The pictures suck but you get the idea. It crawls great, just need to lose the pede tires and mount some masher 2000s or moabs. I just changed the steering to make some more clearance on the front axle. It turned out pretty sweet. I'll post some better pics as soon as I get my other camera back.

After










I also cut down some green savage springs and used those. The steering servo is now on top of the axle. I also cut the orginal skid down so it fits flush against the front of the axle. I tried putting on the proline 72 chevy maxx body and it fit perfectly, looks like a real truck. I'm gonna pick one up at the lhs this weekend and mount it up.

looks good, I thought about making a new chassis for mine, but i think that the axles would be the next week point as they are already clicking after trying almost all the remedies:?
