It looks pretty good. I would try and get the COG down a little, and mount the battery lower.

Hey thats nice...did you mod the WK chassis and cut the bottom part off? I was just thinking of doing that...I was trying figure out a way to mount the lower links to the axle mount that also holds the shocks...do you have more pics on how you attached it?

Looks nice, but I'd put the battery on the front upper links.

it looks good, but doesn't moving the motor/tranny up to clock it seem counterintuitive? personally i would have just left it in the stock position to keep the driveline angles better

na cant put the battery on upper arms cos its hits the chassis when it is flexing,but i do have to sort something out which will be a better setup.

the speed it goes im not to worried bout the angles of the drive shafts,me and my mate have both done this to our wk and havent had any problems.they have been made more for hill climbing than rock crawling

from cutting the bottom of the chassis of it has got over an inch more ground clearance now,befor it would just get hung up on everything...
