I probably will end up making new steering links out of solid aluminum and lower suspension links out of delrin. The tranny is only held in place right now with two 6-32 screws going into the pivot points for the suspension arms. I plan on adding a couple flathead screws through the delrin chassis skid into the bottom of the tranny, for additional support. | |

Daynm I thought that was wheelbase. 10inches is upper length, bottom is about 4? whats your height and wheelbase.... See, now you've got me curious... EDIT_ I'm a bloody retard. 10 inches long, about 4 inches high, and a 12.5inch wheelbase. So all I need is lower parallel length. Last edited by USATorque55; 08-14-2005 at 04:19 PM. |

 I've been editing stats into the first post, so there's stats in the first post that weren't always there. The very bottom of the chassis is 3 3/4" wide, is that the dimension you need? | |

This pic looks PIMP with the m2ks  Thats one of those bodies you see at the LHS and think its one ugly redneck looking MoFo of a body....then someone has the guts to buy it and turns out one "sick" Scale TLT Crawler....Im sure a few members will bust out rigs with that same body now...who knew it could look so good. Stck with the M2Ks..Moabs midget looking tires will look like **** on your rig BTW,Awsome paint job...did it yourself? |

 I liked how big the wheelwells in the body are, perfect for 2.2 tires IMO. I like the winch in the front, but I'm eventually going to put a 645mg servo, converted to winch, in the front. I did do the paint job myself, only paint mask used was on the windows. I just lay a design out on top of the clear film that protects against overspray with a black marker. When I'm happy with it I freehand paint the body tracing my outline thats in marker. Then hand paint the flames, the truck box and the winch. Then spray the final color over all of that. | |

| Update........
Well, I've got a little more done on the Wagon. I got the axle pinions drilled, got the 2.5 yokes milled, got body mounts on (for the beater body), the shocks have been rebuilt, working on the delrin skid now.
