This chassis is looking sick. Looking forward to getting the one I just bought off 1bjb. Have some ideas like yours but a little different. I love the way this thing looks. Can't wait to see it with the axle you really picked. I might have a lot of pm coming your way with question on how you did certain things. Keep the post updated.

Use a piece of music wire for the sway bar, build arms out of Al like your lower links adn run rod like your uppers for the links to the axle. | |

Have you looked at the Axial springs. You said you wanted something stiffer the red label springs might be a good option. Just a noob thinking out loud here. Very nice work by the way. I'm digging this build.

ok well been waiting on the new axle to be released. i ordered it today i got lights added, interior, exhaust, spares, i'll get some pics once i get the axle. i will have to redo the trailing arms because the new axle has slightly different mounts. not much but it still lives |
