haha, yea, can't find anywhere to wheel besides them rock gardens! Anybody have a good place to wheel around Kzoo? I go behind TGI Fridays, the beginning of that powerline trail is pretty fun. Other than that, I go around my apartment, or take it with me up north to our cabin.

Here are some pics of the new body! Dodge Ram baby! Bumpers to come, front and rear. Going to try to figure out this brazing thing and make my own...

Can't beat the " 'ole trusty's" i love my ax-10. thinking of cutting an aluminum frame like n8big's for it.....

What are you trying to get rid of? the axle coming too far forward under flex or what? My creeper does the same thing. Did you take out the internal springs for droop? looks like way too much articulation for a scale rig! that is where I am at with mine have to limit it!

n8big, i think your right its just plain too much flex, because as soon as i went any further that i was in that picture the suspension flexed more and it flipped, so yes iceman it is like a pretzel
