|  extending x-crawler chassis Hi! Has anyone extended the x-crawler's chassis so that the shocks can be mounted behind the wheels? Will new/longer shocks be required or can the originals reach? Thanks. |

| If you extend the chassis the stock shocks can be used and the shocks can be forward on the links. It works quite a bit better. I just used two pieces of 1/8" x 1" x about 10" pieces of aluminum and bolted them to the stock chassis, then mounted the shocks on the end of the new aluminum. I think that is the easiest and cheapest way to do it. If you want I can take some pictures for you. The chassis if off the rig because i'm making a tuber for it but you can still see how it was done. |

| If you want the ultimate Super Chassis for your XTM, go with a RCP Hustler, I used a Hustler Chassis, works perfect and looks killer!!! I just had to lenthen top links by 1/2" using treaded spacers and everything else bolted right up! http://rcpcrawlers.com/product.php?p...6&cat=6&page=1 |
