im running juggernaut leaf springs. i really like them for this rig! they dont articulate as much but that adds to the fun of a scaler.

Yeah if you could post up some pics that be awesome.

well i built it all myself, made the frame from scratch and did all the tube work too. i also added a interior cage to brace the body which isnt pictured and setup a winch which will prolly go with it.

the wheelbase is at 12 1/4 right now. the battery tray was made for a 7 or 8 cell 4/5A pack but will prolly take others and can be easily modded.

it actually does very well for a leaf spring rig... you just have to finesse it.
