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.

got the shocks mounted so at least its a roller now, and made some temp cut outs for body panels. think I like this one better doesn't have a lot of flex, but I think it will be enough Last edited by Defender; 07-10-2007 at 09:46 AM. |

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.
