looks great... width looks like it would be good with clod or txt not tlt,, i think it might be a bit wide for tlt, but with some spacers might work,, its kinda hard to tell
without some mock up shots with axles in position
still like it none the less!!!!!

I'll get more mock up shots done as soon as I finish getting the tranny mount in place. As for the width, its about as wide as a Clod body, but I'm trying more for a scale look then a comp buggy anyways.

I like its stance, reminds me of a monster truck. Keep up the good work.

Its 5mm X 0.5mm copper tube. Not sure if it'll be strong enough, but I guess I'll find out after testing it some.
