| Not a bad start but the hard plastic bodys on the stock WK makes it very top heavy. I know i tryed it with a clod body. It looked cool but thats about it. |

| I dont really have any plans i designed it free hand. I mounted the nylint tires by taking a 10 mm od nut drilling a set pin hole throu it and turning the outer nut backwards to hold it on. It seams to work for know. |

| I would recomend extending both the front and rear links to the same length. I made my lower links at 5 inches. i also used tlt link mounts to mount my shocks and my upper links.   Doing it this way gives my tons of flex but not to much flex. |
