look at pics 3-5 i just made a mock up out of cardboard to see if my link position and shock mounts are goin to work, and i think it willl  . i'm still deciding to go with 1/8" or 1/4" aluminum for the chassis, i'm leaning towards 1/8 but 1/4 jus looks so beefy . i'm gunna post some more pics tonight, hoping to get my axles locked out today and maybe steering done.

Go with 1/8 steel for the chassis, I built mine from it and its strong and not very heavy at all

yea but i'm bored with it, i was in that 2.2 phase when i got it and was loving it but after i got my tmaxx bak i decided maxx crawlers are so much funner. 2.2's jus look like little micro machines.
