Well here's my first clod crawler:
CLod Axles w/ stock motors
CUstom C channel aluminum Chasis
Custom 4 link suspension
Hpi super star wheels (Super Nitro Wheels)
Proline Masher Tires 2.2
Proline Jeep body
FUtaba high torque servos
traxxas/novak EVX
Associated Shock and Springs

Dimmensions:
12 inch wheel base
11.75 width
16.5 inches long (from front of the front tire to back of the rear tire)

I still need to button up the steering, and off course paint the body, hopefully pretty soon...

If I've forgotten anything please forgive me, it's my first time posting a rig, feel free to ask...

Not to bad. Different looking, but looks to be fine. Should work good for you.
