Looking good , have to be honest.... i love my CLAW , i own a pimp cane 17" , a NN and a homemade chassis, but my CPE CLAW is the best, i guess it's more of my driving style, IMO it's one of the best chassis out there.

Well the only reason I bought it was you didn't have to use Shocks,let me tell you that are a lot of shocks out there,some are good,some are bad,by the time you fine the right one you have built your self another Crawler,they are not cheap,the money that is into this one I will be Lucky to get Half of it back.Jim

nice...i would ditch the circular servo horn and get a long regular servo horn instead...so that the upper link is more perpendicular to the longer link.
