Still not sure on body. I have several that are ready to drop on to a stock trekker but they are all too short for this.

The top of the tray rubs the inside but not so much that it restricts movement

How is the alumminum tray ontop of the servo mounts holding the leafs?

The 2 blue pieces attached to the bottom of the aluminum tray act as a spacer for the leafs mounts as well as the mount for the servo. I mean anything could be rigged up to work without the aluminum tray but this is how I wanted it. Usually people build leaf chassis for scale realism not articulation.

Also it adds more weight to the front. Another thing I noticed is since you did not use the little relocation brackets for the leafs on the front to bring them up it should give a nice rake on the chassis with the rear being slightly higher. Looks good man.

No sorry I don't. I usually run into people with buggies and bashers but not crawlers.
