I have the GCM chassis coming and need to start thinking about the links Would anybody mind sharing the link demensions? Does the front axle get moved forward or stay in the stock position? I'm using stock Axial axels. I have stock VP links with Panhard and was hoping to use the front again or use the rear for the front? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A little bit of nip and tuck got the stock roll cage. Didn't like the fat one that came with the truck. I got the idea from a post I saw awhile back, I just can't remember who to credit.

Any ideas on how to remove the New Bright of the wind screen? I tried alcohol, didn't work.

Yes I received the chassis and have it partially assembled. I ended up ordering the links that GCM offers and an waiting for them to arrive. I figured it will take all the guess work out of it. I was out of the country for a bit so haven't worked on it much. Thanks for the link.

All linked up, checked the wheel base 12.375 instead of 13.06. Bummer. Going to contact GCM. I was waiting to work out the wheel base before cutting the rear shock tower. Getting a little shock binding up front, the chassis is much wider then stock.

Yeah, I ordered spacers. The shocks are 100mm, probably to long, I'll give them a go and see if they work. I also ordered longer rodends, contacted GCM and its a mystery why the wheel base didn't end up 13.06.
