cant wait to see your truck ! make sure to start a build thread man hahaha also guys a tip with the twin hammers if you want more front suspension travel as in like fitting 90mm shocks in the front end take the front dog bones out (drive shafts) and you will notice the arms drop alot with the shocks disconnected note ... i am using the gcm racing suspension mounts so the upright shocks and all haha but if i could go back i would of put better bolts into the meatal plate because they rounded off :/ so now i cant put my hot racing steering rack in the truck .. the old one snapped . so the car is undrivable at the moment :( and i also need to re solder the plug back onto the esc haha .

How did you mount the hood with the shock tower? I love this build! Have been thinking about doing the same thing for a while.

havnt actually mounted any pannels yet but i could either cut slots for the shock towers to stick through or just drill holes through the bonnet into the shocks towers .. either way will work
