Default My Land cruiser with corrected wheelbase

Rear links have been moved, and shortened to correct the wheelbase a lot more than it is stock.

Can't tell yet, haven't really pushed it since mounting this body up. So far it seems ok.

Tires are proline flat irons.

Thanks for the compliments, paint was done by http://www.team3sixrc.com/

lower link moved forward 1 hole on the chassis and cut 5/16" off and ran a tap.
upper link moved back one hole where it mounts to the "servo plate"

I was going to cut more and leave everything at the factory attatchment points, but if I ever wanted to go back I'd be forced to buy more parts.
