Looks good so far. Any plans for an aftermarket chassis or more upgrades?

I am going to put the bent lower links on for sure and the aluminum steering knuckles. I also want to upgrade the plastic steering linkage and servo horn. Would like to upgrade to the MIP cvd drivelines. Also looking for metal trans gears. Here are a couple of better pics as well. Shows my nearly flush body mounts. and my brass weights for the front wheels. | |

| I broke the ball cup on a stock shock and I had the mini-t piggybacks sitting there so I tried them, it dropped the stance in the rear a bit and limited the articulation of the rear. It just happened to work really well so I have not changed it.
