Default new guy with some questions and pics

Hello I have been lurking and reading lots. I did some trading on Craigslist and ended up with a jiggernaut 2 based scaler/crawler. The frame has been extended and suspension modified. It has two 55t motors I believe. So at the moment I have it torn down to peices none of the heats in the trans or axles are striped. I made some rear links for it as the original were very bent. I am going to do the front next its a 3 link front and the rear is 2 links and leafs. But I took off the leafs and putting on shocks I won on eBay (big bore shocks) I am trying to figure out how to mount the servo on the axle as it wad chassis mounted before. So a few of my questions are.....

1. For the rear should I do more then 2 links?
2. Should I modify the frame so it does not extend over the rear axle?
3. Any suggestions or pictures on mounting the servo?

That is it for now I'm sure ill have more just give Mr a few. Thanks guys and I look forward to posting more oh how do I post pictures?

Pics are easy. Get you a photobucket account, upload the photos to photobucket, then copy and paste the image link to a post on the forum and you're set. It's free and easy.

As for everything else not sure without pics. You can mount the servo on the axle or frame but not sure one is better than the other.

Ok ill have to get an account set up. Thanks for the reply. I got some big bore shocks on eBay and they cake today and well..... I am working on a mounting plate for the servo for the axle but I'm still toying with the idea of putting the steering behind the axle instead of in front. Any suggestions?
