Yeah, sweet job. Customclod, maybe if you got some new hubs for your rustler, then it would be able to turn. Then with another gearbox you will have a 4wd 4wheel steering crawler. I am not sure on the hubs, but maybe you could think of somethin or use the fronts hubs some how then hook up a servo.........I dunno, give it a try I guess

I made my own full-axle skidplate that goes under the arms of the original pede' front end and skrewed the plate in four different places on the arms. the aluminum bends too, so when I want to adjust the pitch of the arms, I just bend them to the desired ground clearence. So far it has worked pretty good, and It looks cool too! If you don't understand just tell me and I'll try to post some pics.

I get it, you mounted it to the spot were the old bumper was and then to four places on each arm. I never thought of doing that[&:]. Thanks for the info.
