I'm working on a mini tuber myself (Split Personality) and something I figured out is you want to know where abouts you want your shock posts before you begin building your cage. Seeing as how yours is almost done already, I'd say try placing your cage over your chassis and figure out where your shocks come close to a piece of tubing. It's also best to make the plates you're going to use to bolt your cage to the chassis first and begin building your cage from there. I'm assuming this is what you mean by "Body Monuts", unless you're going to mount a body over top of this cage. Post a pic of the cage roughly held where it's going to be when it's mounted to the chassis. This'll help us help you figure out where to mount your shocks, and how to bolt you cage to your chassis. |

reverse hoops are best to protect the shocks  |

| Shock mount
I finally got the shock mount figured out..I reused the stock shock/battery tray mount. I will pre fit tomorrow and post the results.    Also added some upgraded parts and changed out the stock mini servo to a full size.    Sorry for the crappy pics. |
