There are quite a few parts available. I have made 2.2 comp style chassis and links from scratch before, this time I got a good deal on the chassis and axles and he threw in some of the links (jato turnbuckles) and I happened to have a few spare jato turnbuckles laying around. I am going off of reign rc website that has a build using the same chassis and axles. The reign chassis are setup to use the same length upper and lower links, so it makes it real easy to get the geometry close. That is the worst part for me, making sure the suspension is smooth and the axles are controlled well during crawling. This 1.9 has a short wheelbase (less than 10") to match the blackfoot body, most aim for an 11" WB and the revo pushrods are the most popular links used, they are steel and have solid rod ends!

Nice truck

Thanks! Yeah, that lipo is out of the lst, it and my cell phone make the perfect height center stand. I had to do that to figure out the shock lengths. 6s lipo in a crawler would be fast, that is for sure!

Thanks buddy! They are super solid. I have this chassis and just got the k2-6 chassis for my 6x6 tlt axle truck that I will build next.
