I just found this build thread. I have had a chance to view this vehicle with the frame and axles complete at a comp a while back. To say the least I was very impressed with slugz workmanship and knowledge, and on top of that he seems to be a real cool guy. Alright, enough a$$ kissin,... I hope to check out the finished product before to long.

Nice work slugz, keep up the creativity!

So my unemployed butt finally sat down with this rig and stared at the front end and bammo, the setup for steering just came to life in my head. I need to weld in a few new cross members and it will take shape but for now here is the teaser

Yes but not very much or not enough to really notice; so long as the cable housing is run properly.

I must have been comatose because this is the first time I've noticed this colossal build. Slugz this is big

I can't wait for more progress photos.

I've been waiting since he bought the tires and wheels for this thing way back in January, TOO...and he was giving me crap for taking forever on my stick buildup

Really wanting to see this one done, Put the mutant stampede away and get to fabricating some stuff would ya:-P Very clever on the steering...but I've kinda come to accept that as standard for these large scale builds of yours.
