hey there

About matching the parts, I will when I get some extra cash.

I will measure the centre clearance when I have the truck built. I think I am going to lower it from where it is now, by adding some more holes in the axle 4-link mounts.

If I get my wheel adapters I will test this truck at the Bradenville comp. Its very dumb of me to test the truck at a comp, but I have to travel all wk for my job.

hey there

The chassis will be called LS (long shorty) (I will explain later), I am going to use my Ebay name RC Innovations to sell it.

I need to build one more prototype before it is the way I want it, but this weekend was a very nice performance.
