The chassis looks like the stock one hacked up a lot.

Good job Tank, very clean.

Take that spacer out off of your steering knuckle you will lose alot of leverage, and move your tie rod up...Other than that looks pretty sweet...Good job...

What are the two forward screws on the rear servo mount plate screwed into? Tamiya only has holes in the axle housing for the rearmost two holes of this plate...

Oh ok...has anybody torn that plate off of the axle housing yet???

The little raised screw holes that attach it to the axle housing are not much considering most people attach both upper links and servo to the front one and then both upper links for the rear plate. I drilled the two little nubs through and used four screws to hold mine on and I still consider it weak and not the best way to mount it all...but seems to work for everybody...
