Not bad, looks like it could use some braces on the front section if the chassis.

what kind of body are you going to run?

body is gonna be my old bronco body, once i get the body posts. i'm gonna have to open up the wheelwells a bit on her, since i just gained 1.5 inches of wheelbase over the previous version.

the teflon doesn't flex much, so i doubt it'll have to add any extra braces, but we'll see. it has one an inch or so behind the upper shock mounts, front and rear. also a w2x2ish teflon skid under the tranny, and the stock tlt battery mount thing in the rear to hold the electronics. i made the inner width of the chassis the same as a stock tlt, so i could use the braces and other stuff of that width

got the body posts, and the body is on. i might open up the wheelwells more, and lower the body a bit more. it just barely rubs as is, so going lower will mean bigger wheel openings...so much for scale, huh?

the battery lasts a very long time. it has lasted thru 3 20 minute indoor test sessions, and i still haven't recharged it yet. it was only $20 at ultimate hobbies. i may have to pick up another...

The wheelwells look fine to me. If you do cut them bigger I'd lower that body some..
