A couple more pics.
Everything is mocked up. Now I just need to disasemble and make the drive shafts and dig. Attach everything.

Hoping the rest of my stuff comes in today so I can test it on Saturday.

What's the center clearance? Looks a bit high? Should work pretty well none-the-less.

Swamp dawgs are 4.75!
That chassis seems about about 4.5" GC!

The GC is around 4" Like 3 15/16". It's higher than I wanted but I'm going to see how these heim joint work out. I have some others that are more traditional and will give it around 3.5"-3.75" of GC.
I've been trying to get ahold of RC4WD to see if they have the 6-32 rodends in and shipping time, to see how they work out. ????

It was just taken apart and the dig was installed.
I'll hook up the front axle and put the electronics in it tomorrow. Maybe take it to some rocks and test it out.

Badger I've never jumped a boat but Maybe I'll put a 540 can motor in and see if I can get a little air.

that does look like the gc will be pretty high. I was looking at it and is there a way of mounting the servo/axles above the chassis? From the looks of the pics it looks doable. It seems that way the chassis would be about the same height as the axles. Any of that make sense?...lol

Leave the belly where it is at and fill the tires with AirSoft BB's. That will bring you CG down and still keep the belly clearance. Works great on the 2.2 Pimp Cane. Can't see way it wouldn't work with yours.

DJ, are you going to have holes all along the ends of the chassis so the shock mounts can be moved forward or back more?
