I figured that I might as well go ahead and update my SMC to the SMC+

Here is the list:

CrawlerX.net: SMC+ Chassis, Wheel Widener's.

Hot Racing: Aluminum C-carriers Front(shaved), Rear Axle Lockout(shaved), Main gear box, Main Center Gear Case, 54t Spure Gear.

Losi: Aluminum Front spindle set, Alum Center Skid Set.

C.A.C. Wheels.

RC4WD Rock Crusher Tires.

As it sits today...

Went together W/O any issues, I think the new version looks great. I really like the added shackles & new leaf spring design.

I am gonna do Electronics, Steering, Body & add some much needed weight to the wheels as this goes along. (may-bee actually do some video)

this thing lookes amazing

im looking to get one of these chassis's for my micro when im not to busy. i also like the rims too, did you have to glue the tires to them or are they a snug fit?

You should Glue them for a proper fit. You can run them W/O glue but will suffer in obvious situations.

I made an extension for my SMC earlier... Not sure if I am going to keep that idea or go different route.(longer horn)?

I will try and get some pics posted this evening on the steering setup I run on my SMC+, I am also working on a better monting system for the steering setup on the SMC+
I will get that finalized when I get some free time and if anyone else has any questions or needs assistance with anything else please don hesitate to send me a PM

Sorry I am not trying to highjack your thread just wanted to post some pics of the steering setup I have been testing, and it works
great, basically I used servo tape or rather foam tape to fasten my servo to the top of the front axle and looks to be working
great.

By the Way nice Job T-buck looks awesome

Right now hooking it to the axle is the best way and easiest way, but I will definetly look into other options and keep you guys posted on what I figure out.
