I added the body posts last night, drilled holes down through the chassis. Glued on two of the body panels, and welded them in place. Tested the body clip idea, works great.

This last part will take some time, as it all needs a lot of re-inforcing. I can also tell some of my links are weak, but that's actually OK, as when they break, re-welding them actually makes them stronger. (I broke one last night, and re-welded it, it's tough as nails as of this morning. There are a couple I might break on purpose, even)

The other big advantage I'll have is that it's all repairable, all replaceable. Anything that breaks or needs improved, I can remove and replace how I want. I have plenty of spare material, and it's all easy to work with.

It's done! Or at least the body work is...

Sure, it needs a brushless system in it asap, and some new tires/wheels, but the tough part is done!

Going to take it out now, see how the balance is... and if it flips, I'll see how it holds up.
