    this is a crawler I threw together with parts and help from crawlerbubba, the chassis is mostly scx10 with a custom front clip and shock mounts, its running gmade r1 portal axles and rc4wd 110mm coilovers, as I said before it was thrown together, so I am wanting to rebuild/rework some of the exo and move the rear shockmounts up to the truggy frame, here are a few pics of the initial build and some from tonight as she sits

    Ok, this thing is a mess, i def need  to finish the front section of the frame as you can see its just a welded mess, the suspension links are all missmatched and I also need to backhalf the rear frame section and rework the rear tubing to be more truggylike, the first go round was my attempt at a truggy with bedsides but im not happy with that decision at all.

    Ended up makin a cowl hood and started tuckin in all the electronics under the dash and hood, the cowl hood gave the esc room and a good cool air intake, with the fan on you can feel the air getting sucked into the cowl hood

    Thanks, I had to notch the cab corners and roof just to make it easier to fit the cab into the exo, I ruined the paint on the orange one and it was bothering me

    Excellent build yotapane!  Did I understand that correctly, you fabricated the dash from sheet polystyrene plastic?
