Nice tut. Cool body too. You could also mount the strips on the top instead of the bottom if ground clearance becomes an issue I suppose.

what about the drive shaft?

hey thats cool i think i might try and do that to one of my spare gen 1 chassis just for fun and i bet the long evo drive shaft will work or one of the truck drive shafts maybe

You could get a custom made one, or you could use the front 2wd axle mod. You can see it on other xmod sites, I couldn't find it in a search.

ya the longest drive shaft from the truck awd.
