little update, i ordered steel tranny gears for it yesterday, and going to be starting my rebuild.
im converting to a true 4 link
flipped axle mounts, and switched to traxxas t-maxx shocks mounted at an angle to supposedly fight torque twist, and some body roll.
i plan on extending the wheel base to 285mm to help with handling, and fit the proline 1965 ford f100 body.
