Default working on first tlt

i visited this web site and it got me started for making my first tlt. i am still waiting ot the truck to actually get here (2 weeks tommorow) i ordered it from hobbypeople.com. it should be getting here soon. i started to work on the chassis to make the team losi xx buggy tranny work since i had a spare laying in my basement.you might think why am i using 5" shocks instead of 4" the reason for this is where i live theres not a whole lot of rocks mostly a lot of trees, creeks(not a lot of rocks), and lots of hills so my cg is not my biggest concern yet, but if i need smaller shocks ill buy some. well this is what i came up with tell me what you think. ill keep you updated when i recieve my other parts. heres what all im using...

tlt
team losi xx buggy tranny locked (87t-13t)
hpi rear shocks (77-117mm) 5"
proline moab tires
traxxas rustler front rims
'73 bronco body
homemade custom chassis ( if it dont work ill go with sw2)
green machine 3 pro motor
homemade carbon fiber 4 link suspension (spare arrow shafts)
hitec 645mg servo (i think)
lrp f1 super reverse esc

heres a few pics (sorry for the crapy pics)
