So this thing has been sat in development badword for a while now and I must get on with it. Basically I'm trying to figure out what to do about sway bars. I seriously limited room for them and a lack of mounting points other than the front. If I use them then I need a seriously long and kinked bar, possibly slanted inward as well. My other option is to braze something onto the frame behind the wheels and work from there. The biggest hurdle is that i would like it to be fairly scale looking so no bent up piano wire etc.

Anyone have any suggestions to spark me on with this thing?

CPE and RH designs have some nice swaybars for the SMT10 that may work well here.  They're machined so they look much nicer, and it's usually pretty easy to make a mount (or drill out a hole) to feed the torsion bar component thru.

This is the RH Designs one on a SMT10:



And the CPE ones on a SCX10:

It looks like your chassis has a few spots in the front and back that should be pretty easy to mount up something like that, which would yield a pretty scale look.

I’ll get some photos up to show where I’m getting stuck, I’m not sure there’s really enough room between the shocks and frame at the front, especially when the axle is tilted.
