Here is my new crawler (kinda) Chassis. It's kinda a modifyable version though. The way the shocks are mounted now limits the articulation and gives it Great stability. I can and will slide my shockx back on the Frame and it will add articulation and soften the shocks for a little slinkyer climbing. More pictures later...

Let me knwo what you think!
