TVPs installed to the front bulkhead, the front drive shaft is also mated up to both the front diff and transmission. This thing is getting huge.

I think I might be the only one who enjoys building the shocks =P.

OK...so..I made all the shocks...wheew...it's fun, but repetatitve...[:'(] It was fun though, they are big shocks!
The shocks mount up easy and after an hour or so of building shocks, I turn the page to building links...[:@]
Finished those bad boys and got everything hooked up. Personally I think the links should have been mounted before the shocks because with the shocks mounted it is very difficult to get in under/behind them to hold screws or nuts. That's the only problem I see so far.
After that the next step is to mount the bumpers and body mounts.

Motor mounted onto the motor mount bracket.
The grub screw up front is one of the updates to the Savage X SS kit. This keeps the motor from twisting forward under high torque situations.

Finally complete, this was a nice build and I highly recommend it over the RTR. You get a full understanding on how everything works.
