Hey MJ, what's the I.D. of the clamp mounts? That might work for re-positioning the front shocks on my Jerp.

MJ this is lookin very sharp bro. Keep on rollin"thumbsup"

Re: Derstine's HotRod willys
 

finally ordered some parts for this. time to get the axles done this weekend. then its a roller and i can start to power it.

got some XO-1 shocks coming for it. should do nicely

Re: Derstine's HotRod willys
 

hey guys, been doing a lot of work on this thing. the front suspension is all hung, and the rear is 4 linked. I am going to need some lighter springs for the shocks, but have some on the way.

i also started working on the front steering, its going to be a turnbuckle and a hidden servo. should be pretty sweet.

here are a couple pics.

Re: Derstine's HotRod willys
 

Got the steering mostly mocked up. need to get a better servo in there, and then i think its gonna be good to go.

this thing is gonna be sweet! i could probably power it up tomorrow and test it out.
