I copied over the first post from another forum. Here are some pics of what I have so far. I looked around and copied a lot of ideas from some of the top rigs out there. You know what they say, copying others work is the highest form of flattery. Wes |

I let my wife pick the colors and name the trucks. She wanted a blue one this time. The first thing that came to mind was the Smurfs. I figured Handy Smurf was a good fit since I am building it all from scratch. Wes |

I need some advice. What is a good height to set the skid plate on the MRC? I want to get this chassis as close as possible on the first try. Wes |

So far I like it, but I am not through building it quite yet. I am not sure if I got the two CF plates cut at the correct angle though. I will have to test it out to see. Wes |

Where can I get the knuckle weights? I do not see them on VP's website & googling turned up nothing. Great build.

I assume only one point has to reach the overall dimension. I am also concerned about the 1" cab height rule. Wes |

I am getting close to having this all together. The servo is just for mock up. Going to use a Hitec 7955TG. Wes |

I am getting close to having all my links figured out. I am taking tig wire and super glueing into drilled out links for mock up. Easy to cut and bend. Once I get it where I want it, I will order some Ti links. sure hope the rest if my parts arrive this week. Wes |
