Ive got spare links,hardware, wheels and tyres...and at that money,why not?!
I was going to use it as it was but didnt like the crap shocks.Its easier to use torsion on the front than shocks.

Looks good. Like the idea.

You might not have to weight the wheels too much because of the extra bully axle weight. My ST works great but only with the right weight distribution in the front and rear (berg axles). I dont know for sure if the bullys weigh more than the bergs but i think they might. You'll figure it out. It was like magic when i figured out the right weight combo front and rear. Just my opinions.

Just FYI but I think the ST should be run with the torsion in the back. At least that is what was suggested to me. Best chassis i have ran to date.

Theyre loads heavier than my berg axles.I built the wheels up first and had to re-do them as it was way too heavy.
The ST can be run either way.Ive got it this way round to make it easier to clear the front gearbox.I needed to alter the skid and get the links further apart at the chassis to lengthen it.It sits at 12 1/4 inches now whereas it was under 12 with the standard KK skid.

I have allot of interest in that chassis. Looks like its going to be a great build. Can you post a pic of your skid? I would like to see what modifications you made.

Thanks

Nice axle and motor skids. Did you make them yourself? What material did you use.
