|  Well worked on my sons real crawler most of today but did get time to fit the body, make the shock brackets and mount the shocks, Im gonna make the front brackets same as the rear. an alum hoop......nice for roll protection  I need to make taller upper arm axle brackets about 1/2' taller to help with axle twist. I will make those tomorrow  I am going to mount the motor and tranny on a little less of an angle that I have it sitting in the picture to equal out the drive line angles |
