Heck yeah Kris, I love the way you've been mounting that bug body. It looks so bad ass with the shocks coming out of the windshield and hood and slammed.

And all this time I thought you were a Web wheeler.

Nice work on this fine machine. Do you have any issues with your upper links hitting your dig and lower links. In the photo's it look's like it might.

Great looking rig Kris, especially the camo bug body. I like some of your innovative pieces you got on there also. Shoot, all the Colorado guys have sweet looking bodies now, I'm jealous.

Very nice! The paint is sweet. When I seen it this past weekend, I didn't realize at first that it was camo'd!

I changed my upper links for more clearance on my dig and the front to lower the battery. I move the upper links outside the chassis but did not want to change the link angles so I remade the linke mounts on the axel to keep it the same.









I also cleaned up the birds nest of wire

How does your dig work? That is a sweet servo / link mount you made! I see there is an arm that is the fulcrum for your dig lever, but when you are free wheeling in the rear, what locks up the wheels? Hope you don't mind me asking...
Thanks
