Custom Rough Rider update

description  I have done a little on the new Rough Rider project but its still in the mockup stages. Shortened an original chassis by around 12mm and also measured up to lower the roll bar around 10mm, this tucks the rear cage nice and snug with the rear body. At the Front I will be making up mounts to put the steering servo back up against the front beam. Got a super cheap set of rims from Ebay and have been experimenting with tire widths for the front, think I want something a little smaller diameter tho. Not sure what to do about the front end yet, custom front bumper/ skid plate looks favorite !

Cheers ANY advice appreciated as this is the first time I have tried it! I got the shell already done but broken, the work Scorcher-Tec put into it is amazing, I think the roof is the only standard part. enjoying doing a custom and cant wait to get it on the beach at Camber Sands!
