That would be an impressive build.
Yeah, thanks to you guys, I have gotten good advice and ideas. I am sure I am missing some odds n ends parts like the axels and and rear axel mounts but I am not sure if I want to go with the stock redcat ones or find some good aftermarket ones and I just hope I'm not using too much aluminum.

That looks like a fun build. I wish I would have built one from scratch instead of buying complete and modding everything. Building one and working on them is most of the fun for me.

Im digging phatcats front/rear shock towers, I just might have to get those instead.
With the rear shock tower it will only work with side mounted pipes or stock pipe

It's not hard to redo them it's just with that pipe you do not have much room to adjust the shocks.

Would be worth the time to maybe do two types one for the rear mounted pipes and the. The ones you already have
