Looks good so far other than the fact you may have a little too much weight up high on the chassis. Love the tires, if you ever decide to sell them off let me know.  |

| Looks nice, I have the same chassis, but I took off the lower level and bolted the connecting rods directly to the main level. |

Get some center top link posts for the diffs and place the top links on them. And relocate the top links chassis attachment point to the next set of upper holes. Then place the the lower links in the holes on the chassis that the top links were once placed. I would place the lower links to the axle on the top knuckle for more ground clearance. But this is up to you and related to how much wheel base you have, shock mounting and heigth of the upper link mount you use. I did a similiar build with my clodzilla II chassis. |

Just thought about it , but for the top link mounting you will need to redrill those upper holes. Further out board than the lower link moutning holes.

i think the holes could stay, i tried the setup and i could get about 80 degrees of articulation, and even if i screw up, i could easily fix it later...
