That thing is awsome. What kind of chassis is that. I was thinking of getting a TLT but doesn't leave enough clearance. I like the set up you have.

Here is the video as promised... The video is over 10 min long so I divided it into 2 parts, but 56Ker's BEWARE!

hi,

what is the exact length of your frame from end to end?
what is the exact space between you linkage holes on the bottom of your frame?

your frame compelled me to build something similar.

It looks like that truck is really capable of getting around the rock pile! It's cool how scale it looks with the wheel-well openings matching the wheelbase. That's such a nice build [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Thanks for the videos!

nice video, those rocks are bigger than the truck and it climbed them with ease.

I cannot divulge that info at the current time. I planning on doing limited production of my V2.0 Chassis. The shock arms are as long as the 1/8th scale body that sits on it... Too long IMHO, but V2.0 will be a true 1/10 scale and have a shorter WB, also making it MUCH more capable. All is top secret at this time.

Thanks for the compliaments guys! [8D]
