Looks good, I had one of my sticks at a 17" WB and I loved it! Do you plan on attaching shocks in regular stick fashion, or what?

Looks very nice. Your Traxxas 2055 high torque servo isn't going to turn those Gaint Trac's. It may have 80oz@6V on a good day. I understand building on a budget, but your servo is not the place to save money. You can find used Hi-tec 945mg's on ebay super cheap. If they are DOA, just send them to Hi-tec for repair. They are very good about that. I sent in three trashed 945's and got back three new servos for the cost of three cases and shipping. Less than $40. I would get rid of the servo saver also, but that's just me.
Anyway your build looks good, I see a stick build coming for me.:)
