Thanks for the compliments man! The dodge is actually getting turned back into a jeep grand cherokee at the moment. I'll have pics of that soon. As for the links I just used 2-56 threaded rod. That fits direct to the losi mini-t ball cups which is what the mcrc balls are from. Then I just sleeve the rod with aluminum tubing. That setup just slides over rocks and such nice and smooth and is pretty cheap.

Yeah, that's a great setup. It looks way better than trying to use the stock links, and ill be able to inboard the uppers because the link ends can be reversed. I think its back to the drawing board to me.
I don't think I'll be able to handle the frame like it is either. It sticks below the body line too far for my taste.

This is a nice take on the micro man, I typed "scale chassis" in the search and your post came up as a result. Even if you aren't happy with the way it came out...it looked cool to me so good first attempt.
