Got pretty much everything I needed ordered for now to get it rolling so you will be seeing more action on this project in the next few weeks:
Traxxas Big Bore shocks $60
Proline 40 series velocity w/ Bowties (yellow rims) $60
TFR TNX Pillow ball suspension kit $50
G Maxx single speed tranny conv. $59
Steel Idler gear $15
TNX F&R Bulkheads and body mounts $20
TNX Hubs, nuts and pins $5
Total= $269
now all I really need to order is some CF.

www.graphiteelegance.com is the cheapest I've found. 6" x 12" x .125" for 18 dollars. It is very good quality for the price.

Thanks but I need a CF sheet that is just over 12.5" and I found some at some site for $41 cause that half inch makes the diff. between a chassis or chassis that is to short and wont screw in the bulkheads. Anyways I got my Pillow ball suspension today, wow its pretty nice, really beefy plastic and looks sick cause its grey. I also got my TNX bulks, hubs, and body mounts in too, alot more beefy than the Terra crusher parts and grey too. Will have pics of it together tonight. My big bore shocks and bowties should be in tomorrow and the single speed tranny conv. and idler gear in by the end of the week. Update later...

I am actually going to make the chassis in 1/4" Lexan for now and use that as a template so to speak for my CF; get some practice on making a chassis before I butcher up a nice peice of CF..
