Johnny, custom builds like that are too involved, detail work is time consuming, too much pressure to have it be as cool as it can be.. I don't know how interested I am in doing something like that.. Chris asked me a few times to build him a killer C3 chassis and I told him the same thing.. I don't know.

I don't know.. Maybe I'm just being a chicken.

Edit: and, at the same time I'm turning down chassis fabrication work as well as custom wheel work that people regularly PM me about.. I'm think about building a few chassis that I'll probably offer to people and I want to make wheels for myself all the time.

I know it doesn't make any sense but, thats just how it is I guess.

not an exo with locked diffs, i'm talking live rear for the forced articulation/durability and indy front for better handling, and have it all be a bit bigger than the exo.

just like jia's wraith/exo setup, but from axial all in one complete kit.
