Thanks, I have moved the rear axle a little toward to the end of the chassis, now it have a longer wheelbase.

Haha, the leaf springs are coils from those little pull back cars.

I'm actually really enjoying your build, I remember going through similar things not too long ago with my build, hopefully you're getting as much enjoyment out of it as I did. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'd be more than happy to help

Thanks, I haven't have a set of those Paul made super swampers, I only got the TSL boggers from him, they are about the same size as the stock micro crawler tires, but they are a lot heavier, those TSL boggers I have on my Pajero are from Paul btw. Correct, I got the leaf springs idea from B also. I have the rear shocks mounted to the chassis but I mounted them toward to the side of the chassis.
Update: New improved leaf springs mounts. I'm using screws with large threads, and sand down the plate that hold the leaf springs in place, now when it flex, the leaf won't slip out anymore. Also, mounted up the rear shocks, started to work on the rear end, and made front body mounts, using 2 small screws to attach the body to the model chassis.
