Default here's mine

spent the week 4 linking it and adding 2.2s...not finished yet, but it's on all fours again.
-i havta redo my servo mount, since the links took up some room on the axle.
-need to finish the tummy tuck (trim extra plastic in a few other spots around the links, too...)
-figure out where the battery is gonna go, and what 'm gonna use. i think i can fit a 18t battery in between the link mounts on the bottom of the chassis
-i gotta wire up the esc and rx again, since i cut it all apart
-havta replace link mount hex bolts with longer ones, so i can brace up the chassis, since there's not much left of it.
-need to add 2 more screws to each wheel, since i only had 8 of that size...DAMMIT!!
-i wanna see what other shocks fit it, because i just don't like the stockies, but they'll do for now...
-add aluminum tubing over the links, to add strength and *bling*
-probably 20 other things that my wife will yell at me for spending time & money doing

i kinda wanted it to look stockish. i don't dig the ones that are a foot longer than the body, front and rear. wheelbase is maybe 2 inches over stock, and the articulation (buzzword) is a bit better than stock. at least it's not all floppy anymore. no more axle wrap, twist, and whatever else it did before.

Where do you take yours out in Lakewood? Addenbrooke has a pretty rocky area by the lake.
