If you use the image button instead, you can link them directly.... or you can still go back and edit it, change the "URL" to "IMG" and then I can delete my post.

That sounds like overall length. Wheelbase is from wheel center to wheel center.

Looks great, just about how I want mine to look like when I get my 4x4 version in from back order. What did you use for your upper links?

How well does that hold up? Seems like a great idea to use the stock parts.

I'm waiting on my 4x4 WK to get here. Cant wait

That's very sweet. Definitely going to do one of those next. Are you running the stock electronics? If so, what do you think of them?

Yeah, how good is the stock ESC and steering servo? Does it have enough power to turn those huge stock tires?

Cool. Curious to see how long that servo lasts. I blew out a Hitec 5645 this weekend at a comp and that was supposed to be a pretty hardcore servo. I patched it back together so we'll see how it goes. Keep us posted on durability. The rig is looking great so far!
