well, i thought id use my old Rockstar chassis to build a shafty as a back up incase my berg breaks down or if a buddy wants to crawl he can use it...

not done obviously but i have....

new axial axles
new axial trans
new panthers
axial rims with Banana head beadlocks
Rock star chassis.
35t on 3s
sidewinder
strc bents up front and middle bends in back.

I'm just gonna use stock axial shocks with stock springs in back and softs up front. havent made up my mind yet but I'm prolly gonna 4 link it.

so heres a pic of what I've got right now. shocks should be here tomorrow or wednesday and i'll prolly buy a new body for my berg and use my bergs jconcepts body on this one. prolly order a EEM body mount for it too since they work so well and are cheap.

I guess having all that snow can be both good and bad at the same time, LOL!!!!!!:hehe::D:hehe: Plenty of time to build those sick A$$ crawlers and scalers, but no place to drive them....well a few for the scalers...:D
