I just finished that blue ford body and decided to show it, instead of the old one... (lime green chevy).

Regardless of what pictures, its still a good looking chassis. I would maybe recommend lowering the body a bit. Even if you do work for G-made its a good build. How about some specs

Its not a big deal, you just hve really clean, clear, advertisement type pictures. Its not a bad thing. Your good with a camera. How is the flex with it? I've heard a few people say its easy to over flex some of the G-made. I know its all personal preference but whats articulation?

Actually I was thinking I wanted more articulation out of it.... I'll go outside and snap an articulation pic real quick....

Here we go. This is max articulation with the shocks in the positions I chose. I might be able to get more by moving them but that will raise the ride height... My camera takes great pics outside (like the ones above) but the indoor pics are sucky in comparision... Here is the pic!  |

I keep seeing these G-Made axles and am wondering how they are geared. The size of the gears makes me think they are very high geared. Might just be an optical illusion though as there is nothing to compare side by side with a clod.

I don't know who to calculate the gear ratio but it feels about the same as a Clod to me... xjman - you would prefer less than that? I might want a tiny bit more to be comfortable... |

When I first started screwing around I found my sweet spot was about 60deg, when I would go more it would twist up in a hole. Everone has a preference.

if i am looking at that correctly, you should remount your links to the top notches for max clearance. i really like those axles and wish i could find some without paying for the whole kit. by looking at it, i can already see a stick crawler that could be made from those axles.
