here is the start of the main chassis it is made of 1/2" square tubing from lowes bent on a bender from harbor freight for bending flat and solid stock then sliced in half with a cut off wheel

he is going for the scale look wants to have full interior and all but he likes the flex of a comp style thats why the rear shocks leaned forward so much and it will have a dig switch ihave one on mine and he loves it anyway we just beat on these crawlers for pure enjoyment so we have no bounderies

body mounts installed used the same 3/16 brake line that will be used to build the cage out off and use the mounting holes in the body

body mounted think we will pie cut the front frame horns and turn them up so they stick out right under the grill like 1:1 does will make a nice place to mount the winch he wants and a front bumper

we ran limiting straps from the chassis to the top link mount on each axle on the test rig to limit torque rap u get when running droop
