Looks pretty sweet. Only thing I would change is to move the lower links to the top bolt in the axle C. That will get the links up out of the way and give you a much more neutral suspension.

Nice build. I don't think there's a chance in heck that you're gonna bend your steering. |

yeah i moved the lower links up and due use it that way i will have to redue the links so that will have to wait till i get the bugs out.And as far as the back tire goes DON'T EVER CUT THAT MUCH OFF they get real soft and don't work worth a s#@t thats why i used them to mock it up .Hope to have some up dates later this week. thanks for looking |

Great looking rig you got there, other than the lower arms needing to be being relocated above like everyone else mentioned. I really likes the look of the rig, you be willing to make another?

Great work for a first timer , the green looks killer, you are running a rx pack on your axles and stick in the center of the chassis , right? anyways great build man |
