I will have to say that even with all the poo poo you have stirred, that I like the look of your rig,
If you narrowed the tires , and remounted your shocks more up and down, it would look really scale
but it looks good anywho!

its just a short shock with no spring...nothing special but try different weights of shock oil with the servo disconnected. try to get it as thick as possible without straining the servo.
