Looks great!!

One thing I have to mention (Since you are watching my build also!

) is the body rubbing. I noticed your wheelbase is still a little long for the body so you are dragging it on the front wheel and the rear. I had to re-drill my primary front leafs (I am using Jugg metal springs) to get the wheel base right for the K5, about 1/2" back of the original centering pin. This did three things, 1. Moved the axle into the center of the wheel well, 2. gave me the pinion angle I wanted, and 3. shortened the drive line enough that I didn't have to use a custom front drive shaft. I four link the rear, so I had options like crazy there.

I only suggest it, because I don't drag my 2.2's anywhere near as much unless I am waaay over flexed due to binding up a wheel in a crack or similar.

Keep it up!! Bow ties rule!!
