i would rethink this idea over. im not gonna be mean about it but i dont like it and i would think that you would want ohnest comments....

if your purposly building it to climb stairs go to the moon with it, but if you want to crawl rocks i would think it over a bit. my rig is stretched to 9 inches and it looks scale and works well.

i do give ya a thumbs up for experimenting...its the only way you learn.

After seeing the first couple pics, I didn't think it was gonna turn out that great. But the last few are making me eat my words, excellent work man!

looks good man, but it's super tall, i'd tummy tuck it and mount everything up higher, you could cut holes through the hood and make some brackets for the shocks to bolt to kind of like a 1:1 comp buggy

Yeah its very tall, but Believe it or not I have better COG with this configuration than the stock... I did not perfom a tummy tuck because the battery helps to the distribution of weight.

u dont have a better COG its just harder to flip because of the swamp dogs they weigh ,ore and make the rig wider. I also didnt think this was gunna turn out as good as it did nice work
