great mod. However, you totally threw me for a loop when you typed WILDER wheelbase. I was expecting to see something odd and stupid (aka wild/weird), but this is cool...

By the way, are you putting some sort of third link on each side to keep the wheels straight? That doesn't seem like it would be enough on its own.

He PM'd me with it on r7r... Me, Red, and Texan are running certain projects...

Looks good, just need some strengthening.

Search for MachXRacing's "Rhino" chassis on XMW, he did something similar...

Hm... Looks week, what do you plan on doing with it?

deffinately a good mod. nice use of supplies as well.
the only thing i see that would need to be looked into is the way you have everything fastened.
the screws and nuts will all be too loose and the wheels seem as if they will walk backwards. it needs something rigid from the upper mount and lower arm to the knuckle to keep the wheels parralell to each other.

cheers,

Indeed. As I told Sweed, it needs strengthening. Some cutting sanding, and better fitting and you got yourself a hella sweet truck.

Oh, what body are you using?

It runs on a f-150 body for now i didnt make any mods to the body yet and here some progress pictures:



I just put the body on the chassis just to show u guys how it fits.


I also tried to make the body fit on with a suspension kind of system here some pictures:

So i took a gen1 suspension and fix inside the body to the front suspension top plate.


some pictures and it can also lower to one side to the other
So thats my work for now
cya hope u like it!
and if smebody have any suggestion on how i could make it stronger i would really apreciate it !!
