doesn't the USA-1 have IFS?

i think USA-1 would be hard in stock form, it is independant suspension, but i think the biggest problem will be that the chassis plate sits really low, so theres not much of ground clearance

Hope your ready to do alot of mods. I am currently doing an USA-1 build up. The people in here will tell you that an IFS is a waste of time. I am pretty sure it can be an asset, if done peoperly. Mine is still incomplete so I can't tell you what to do, and what works fore sure. I have custome cut my own chassis, resembles the dragoon on craftlab.com. I am retro fitting revo axles, upper/lower a arms, and steering knuckles. Use will be made of the IFS and a 4 link setup. Overall wb will be 16.5 give or take. Power will come from intergy 55t lathes. There is alot more, but until I complete the platform the rest of my ideas will continue rolling around my head.

You can look in the Maxx crawlers forum for ideas. I'm doing a complete rebuild of my son's Dagger and I have pulled some good ideas from there. She's lying in pieces right now but I'll post some pics when shen get up and running.
