[QUOTE="chevota1, post: 953589, member: 17378"] it s just been one change after another most cheap. i started with a basic nylint rc from wal mart for 50 then replaced the drive bands with o rings a tip i got from jason at s-n but then i found that it didnt stall out i wanted traction so i played with the tires by cutting every other lug out and mounting them in reverse to grab and pull rocks to the center of the tire. after that i wanted more articulation so i first inboarded the shocks when that was not adequtate i made a coil spring conversion in the rear and cut all the excess material out of the link mounts front and rear. that gave me so much flex that it just wanted to roll right over. so i scraped that plan and just went to home depot and baught a piece of straight rod the same size as the shock rod and replaceced the lowerrod with a longer peice and removed the top piece with a direct slide through so it doesnt bottom out but still has the stability of the original susp. but just sits a little lower.then i cut the original belly pan out and tucked it up about an inch and a half then riveted on a piece of sheet metal that i had at the shop for a skid. the body came later i made it out of sheet metal it wasnt neeed but i wanted it to be different.:stirpot: [/QUOTE]
