Default Project?

Hello here is my mock-up of a car I want to build.
What I have...
-Duratrax Evader
-Tamiya TL-01
-some other parts.

I am thinking of just having aTL-01 with extended arms frm the F-150 or any other long A arm cars that will fit TL-01 without to much mods.
Thanks for looking

the evader is a much better chassis than the TL-01. I would take the evader chassis and put the TL-01 arms on it (they're longer I think) then you can maybe put some wheel wideners on the truck and then you have the car.

The evader arms are much longer. I prefer the chassis but I would prefer it to be 4Wd Any way do you think it looks cool and is a good idea. I probaly wont do it for a while but I think it looks awesome!

You will need custom made driveshafts and custom machined front c-hubs to use 4wd.
