When articulating the front cants actually work better with the 2nd shock attached instead of a rod!

The Lower links are from a Xtreme Racing chassis. They work great to stretch the wheelbase out!

If you think you have to crap then you better, you wouldn't want Streakmarks, Now would you!

It's different.. Good use of parts you already had. I can see how the front shocks are mounted that you would get extra drop, but no extra up travel. Cool. I would do the same to the rear and then lower the whole thing.

I plan on doing the same to the rear. As For the COG it's only sits about 1 1/2 inch to 2 inches off the ground! I think the COG is fine, cause I can go almost completely Vertical up a wall!

I need Body suggestions if anyone has a idea!!

Thanks for all the replies I am going to look around Tower for a body. I do like that Chevy body, it goes with my shoes and my shirts! Never thought of that!
