description  I finally got round to making some longer links for the rear suspension to push the axle back.
Just used threaded rod, rod ends and alloy tube. I sleeved the threaded rod with a copper tube to act a bush for the shock eyelet and to strengthen the link.
Wheels now in the right place and articulation is pretty good, I need to stiffen the rear springs now and may change the wheels to something a little more scale, not sure.
Comments welcome, thanks for looking!
I have mounted some slightly different wheels that will keep the tyres inside the wheel arches, much better look, will post pictures soon... Got the body mounted using the original clod body mounts, and finally invested in some new 2.4ghz radio gear so the truck is now a runner will buy a new shell for the shelf, and use this one as the runner.

Cheers! I have now managed to modify the front hubs to take different wheels, so they sit inside the wheel arches and removed the front bumper as I want to make a more scale one...its coming together slowly, still need to work out how to fit the body without body posts though...

Top job!

Cheers, I was pleased with how they turned out, I found the steering link to the servo to be exactly the right length for the shorter suspension links, so I'm going to order a couple more up to finish it properly
