So since I knew what I wanted to change and tweak I went and made some new chassis plates.

Got a new skid plate made up and the cross supports. Before I was using 1/4" delrin tube. This time I figured I would do something different. I found the 3/16" tube has the perfect ID to tap to 3mm and its lighter than the delrin.

Got the chassis set and links done. Since the chassis was longer the rear links only needed to be shortened. The fronts I remade and rolled the chassis back about 1/4" from where it was. This still gave me a little forward bias but also made the links allot closer to being equal. On the old setup the rear links were just simply too long and with the shock setup it really was a clown car.

With the shocks at the axles now too I can get some ty links made.

And here is what I came up with--I really wanted to keep it similar to the old cab.

I made all new body panels, got the wiring all stuffed in place(just re-organized in the body) and got it put together. I still have to rework the upper shock mounts (outboard the shocks at the body a little more) and waiting on new rod ends and aluminum balls.
