All right funny guys, you know damn well that I wasn't going to come home and not start puting as much of it together as possible, LOL!!! any way here is the update of the pics with the new chassis...
The Chassis
Going together
It is slightly narrower so I moved the dig servo to the back side of the mount which actually gives me a better angle to opperate the dig with.
Random angles
There you go for now, I will post more pics as I get the parts, I also just figued out that I am going to need longer upper links as well, just not sure how long yet, I might have to sacrifice my original orange lower links, we will see

Thanks!!!!!
ewww it still has drive shafts :jk:
nice chas
did u ever figure out the length of ya links for 12.5?
As far as I know the lower links I have coming sre the correct length, as for the upper links I really have no idea until get my lower links installed so I can figure it out.
Yeah I think it will be, and I think having longer upper links will be helpfull as well, at least that seems to be the case

dont worry brando, I'm not. the best setup i ever had on a shafty involved the stock chassis, was basically all in the suspension setup for me...

Hard to believe that was a stock ARTR a few months ago. Who would have thought an all-nighter at a computer would have turned into THIS adiction...

Well my links still have not showed up yet
but I wanted to get an idea of how it is going to look so I mocked it up with my links from my Axial chassis and I still have to get upper links as well I also had to redrill the skid plate to move every thing forward because there was no room between the chassis and the dig case for the upper links to attach to the chassis, here are a couple of pics for ya...
Here is the pics of the redrilled skid

Well she's alive and well again, wheel base is just a tad bit under 12.5" and the ride height is a little high at 3.25", but it was working ok when I took her out on my little pile of rocks out in the backyard and she performed well, here are the pics I took at my work bench there wasn't enough light at 1am to take pics outside on the rocks.
If or when my new lower links show up I might change them out...
