Update mounted the body pan/seats using a cut up battery tray. Pressed small magnets into the shock towers to hold the body on and Replaced the shocks with hot racing.

Those tires are from that PRC QX4 aren’t they. I’ve got a set on for my Fungi Goat and they fairly well in dirt when weighted.

Looking good.

Got my move across the country out of the way and my bench set up. Time to finish this build. Here’s a little teaser.
