I'll have to get new rear springs made as the ones in it arn't long enough and the front ones don't flex enough.
They might soften up alittle after awhile.
Taking it out for its first offroad mission tomorrow, will post more pics tomorrow night.

Thanks for that 4sum4
Not legal yet, still have to take it for certification and then no doubt there will be a few things needed to be done.
I'll have to get longer springs made so they don't disconnect at full droop and to try get the front to move a little more, also I badly need a steering dampner

Took it for it's first play today.
Seems to go well, got a couple of little teething problems.
The ball joint on the A frame is getting the biff, not strong enough. I'll build a treg type coupling.
I need longer springs...... Badly
oh.... I blew the rear diff
Shit happens
