Default clodstrophobix ... 2nd gen

been looking at some of the trucks and thought of making one based on those small height chassis designs i keep running into these past weeks. anyways, nothing final on this chassis. i plan to create a new chassis based on the hole config and widen the lower links distance to have a 16 inch wb and a lower gc. currently wb is 15.25 inches and gc 5.5 inch.

please note though that the trucks i make arent going into the hills ... they were meant to be driven by my 2 kids in our back yard, around 800 sqm of grass and uneven terrain and some rocks.

im thinking of buying some parts, maybe lathe motors and moabs, but it may seem overkill for our backyards muddy terrain, its the rainy season now. what do you think?

Looks good, and your right about holding off on the Moabs, on the rocks they are awesome, but a dirt and mud tire they arent.
