jnev : the chassis has multiple locations for the posts(look at first pic), i just needed to let mike know what the new length would be
bp-revo : it was a little squirly with the short chassis so this will be a great improvement, plus it will jump better
as for the body ..... i was thinking about a proline desert rat for the rustler, but i will probably just get what ever the lhs has on hand .... it looks as if they will all mount up pretty easy
