Looks like a great start, I'll be keeping an eye on this one. I cant wait to see what you have planned for your axles. On a side note: you'll want to have this thread moved to the General Scale section as this is the area for all trucks running 1.9" wheels. |

there home made axles that look pretty realistic and i havent made the rear axle yet. the front is all custom made and it uses xmod evo knuckles that have ban modifyed.

there are some small, like 1/3 the size of traxxas rod ends that I think Dubro makes that would look good on there. My LHS had em the other day, if I go back I will post up a pic for ya. Nice build BTW, and oh yeah, wrong forum:-P |

do u have the pics of the tiny ball joints because i cant really go on on the chassis before i get them because if i build the rest of the tube work i might havce to tear most of it back out. |
