Looks pretty sweet. Whats the center of gravity like on that? And sleeve the links, it'll make it look better.

The COG is good since the motor and the battery are located pretty low.

I do plan on sleeving the links once my wideners get here. The tires rub on the links when I turn right now so I want to get that fixed before sleeving them.

I have a set of softer springs on the way also which will allow for more articulation.

What wheels are you running? You might want to get some wheels with more offset.

I have a set of wideners ordered. This should fix the rubbing problem, then I am going to sleeve the links and I will get some action shots.

Oh and by the way the tires are swamp dawgs on narrowed front pede rims.

Even though you have wideners on the way, you might want to find something with more offset. Pede fronts would probably be best, seeing that they have that same design and you can paint them black.

Well I got the links sleeved.

Still no action shots. Going to have to wait for my wideners to get here to get those.
