E-Revo Chassis & Suspension ?

[CD367]

I'm planning a custom build using the 1/16 E-Revo as the basis for the mechanicals and mounting them on the AiDong aluminum chassis. I would like to maintain the pushrod suspension but narrow the rear track by moving the rear wheels and tires as close as possible to the chassis. Can any of you recommend the best way and parts to do this? If this isn't do-able, what would you suggest for replacing the suspension while narrowing the rear track?

Can I ask why you want to narrow the rear?
You're going to loose your steering if you do that.

I'm not sure about narrowing the rear but my thought for ease of job would be to widen the front to gain a similar effect.

Get 1/16 slash arms to marrow it. The tires may rub. If it's like tge summit, you may lose wheelbase as it's in the arms.

We're trying to replicate (as closely as possible) a TV series car that has oversized wheels/tires on the rear. I am aware of the mismatch that will occur with the different tire sizes and already have a solution in the works. The front is very close to what it needs to be and these E-Revo's already have a wide stance. We've got the rest of the build planned, this is the last thing we need to figure out before I order the parts. I will start a build thread as soon as we start, hopefully in the next 10-14 days.

Sounds like a fun project!
I hope you do a build thread on this truck/car!
The big brown trucks will be bringing boxes of happiness soon.
