Since this I have now converted it to only 2 shocks and moved the lower links to the middle of the chassis to take the axle steer out of the picture.

I'll update later with the new set up.

More pics please! This is one of the most interesting builds I've seen.

This is a really nice chassis but it's not real "user" friendly to noobs or those that don't like to tweek things.

I did finish the build and it worked great, but had a couple problems the heim joints made the chassis a tad to high and I couldn't find any that would fit the chassis lower to the axles.

But here are some pics of it finished along with a short little test video.

Looked really light weight the way it was crawling. Nice work! I need to experiment with those heim joints. Thanks for the pics and vid!

Yep it's super light weight and acts just like a stick from the crawler store just uses TLT, AX-10, wheelie king axles and a tranny.

I may revisit this project when I have more time. But for now it's sitting in the corner all sad and lonely.
