That looks much better with colour-matched CVAs all round. Should handle a lot better too!

If you wanted to, you may be able to get the stance more level by using short shock ends on the rear shocks and/or extra-long ones on the front, although it doesn't look bad with the rear a bit higher than the front.

I have been looking around for details of damper shafts. The kits come with everything to upgrade bar the shafts. I was wondering about different lengths I could mix to get the height where I wanted it.

What spares kit do I need to get extra long rod ends?

I have a set of red wheels, would they look ok?

I do not want to open the packet to try, I over ordered sets so need to bung some on EBay to get shot

i think red wheels could look good and tie in with the red chassis quite well . All depends on what colour and decals your going to use on the body as that will make or break the overall look IMO .

I have a plan for the shell but it might be well outside my talent range.

Just read the whole thread, loving your work dude! I especially like the wide stance which should help with the handling although the tyre spikes may not?

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the body!

Spikes are on to look cool, not sure they will last long.

I wish I could remember. I have some fitted to a couple of my models, but they were in my bits box for a while before fitting, and I'm afraid I cannot recall from whence they came.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Excellent work!

Loving your work, great build and I am keen to see what you do with the body :-)

Well I think this one has run it course. I took it out and it just wanted to filp over backwards even on the lightest throttle.

The shock mounts on the DT-01 rear end are just too high to get any real travel and mounting a wheely bar would take some real engineering.

Added to the fact my sons DT-01 has a split in the shock mount I think I will reduce this back to a pile of parts and go to plan B
