Default semi-scale School Bus using the Diaz chassis

I have been playing with the 1:6 scal Nylints for a few months now and after modifying almost everything I could, I have decided to step up to a TLT based crawler. I wasn't sure whether to do a scale or a comp chassis, and ended up choosing a Diaz DS-1.

The body I am going to use isn't very scale, but I wanted it to have a fun feel to it. I am going to use the Skool Bus body for this project. I will probably buy a scaler body just for show. The bus will be what I use when I go out to play.

Onto the build:

If you're putting pics in the windows, you've got to get one of the guys to wear a bike helmet, and have somebody's azz pressed against the back glass
