Are not my favourite tires but this is a Falken custom Jeep.
The good part is I can use the stock Ascender rims
that are the same of the car I'm inspiring.

I know I commented before, but this just keeps getting cooler. Nice body work. Awesome job on the cantilever setup.

And now those axles are great. Your friend should make sets and sell them.

Sorry for the lack of updates but work is chasing me

I rebuilt the shocks using the same traxxas Xring I used for front shocks



An I'm working on a sway bar to definitely eliminate torque twist
