Great rig! The panhard bar kicks ass, good idea! I see i wasnt the only person who thought of using the old axial chassis laying around . Great job narrowing the TLT's, i cant even see where you narrowed them, got any info on the narrowing proccess you want to share?

Haha, i figured it out after reading it for the 4th time. Cut the axle tube down on the long shaft side and use a short side shaft on both, right? After hunting around for pics it looks like you can get almost a full inch narrower. Is that about right? Its gonna help a ton with wheel and tire selection. Any tips for where is better to cut to retain the strength?

DAAAAAAAAAAMN!  So I just threw the chassis I was working on in the trash and dug out and ol' stock Axial chassis. I have solid stainless axle in the rear and CVD's in front, so I'm not sure about narrowing them? This little 1.9 stuff is fun, takes me back to when I first started crawling.

Guess I am just cheap!You might have trouble narrowing the axles with the cvd's because the location of the axle shaft is MUCH more critical. Im too sloppy for that Quote:
