I was going to start this changeover when I got all the parts but i had more than I thought.... the only parts I need are the Stampede CVD's for the rear and I am going to have to measure the front to find a proper length...
I used the rear a-arms off the pede and the rear camber links. For the shocks I used my old traxxas shocks, took the shock shaft and used the shock body that came with the car. Still have to figure out the front for a-arms and links....

This is not a final fit I will get better shocks and put spacers in at the rear and front bulkheads where the a-arms attach. I'm going to use the stampede cvd kit for the front as well... there's minimal difference in the length for the stock front and rear.... gonna have it done in 2 weeks when the cvd's arrive.....
 
fronts are figured out

Front a-arm, had to grind it down a little for steering.... then decided to flip it over.... steering links were measured and stopping by the LHS to get some turnbuckles..... need to shave off a little of the chassis to allow the front a-arms to drop a little more....
