Wow smoke is probably rolling off of your tools! That is a lot of work for one hour. Keep your eyes open for some light weight cases and tubes.

The problem is that I have to find a solution on rear axle to make it longer,because the front axle now is quite longer than rear that is in stock length. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/19...0/823/aaym.jpg Before After |

Looks like you took the ultimate leap. Chopping that top corner chunk off of the top of the gear case is another cheap easy mod. Also if you turn your front lowers end for end and stand them up vertically. The links can be brought over closer to the case to allow for more interference free steering now that you have more than is usable. For the width try to get around 10 3/4" to 11" out side of wheel to outside of wheel. That front has to be over 12"

Because of servo position restrict me about left lower link. Also,two lower link-shock mounts has to has a symmetry on the tubes.You can see that the position of link mount I placed,is the best choice for the steering. Here you can see the links is as closer to the cases as possible. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/70...0/853/a4l7.jpg Some more pictures of steering link Yes,front axle is little over 12'' and the rear is 10 1/4'' .I think slw hubs are a good choice to adjust the width,front and rear.

What kind of tires did you replace the stock tires with? Any problems changing them?

Looks like you've done quite a bit of work here - with a pretty nice result. I am currently working on my Bully 2.2-axles. One of the things I'd like to improve is the steering angle. Do you have any suggestions of where to begin and what to do? |

That thing's looking great. How do you like the Chaotic Crawlers chassis? I'm liking mine wight the new Bully 2 axles. Got an old chassis for my original axles which I'm slowly starting to put together as I get the parts.
