Ok, so I have decided to make some thing custom. So far I have decided on a flat chassis (truggy like) to Keep the cg low. Most likely going to use a new emaxx tranny, as it will offer good reduction and I have a few...

Now, I am wondering what front and rear bulks and arms to use. I would like 1/8 scale diffs, with buggy ratios. So I am thinking savage x or muggy...

I would almost prefer the muggy setup, as I would like to use the big losi shocks. I know that if you use short towers on a savage that the losi shocks will fit. Plus the muggy bulks already fit a flat chassis, so they should work better for my uses.

And from what I can tell the losi diff setup in my aftershock is better than the savage, due to the al cases, and superior design. Plus the diffs are easy to get to.

I will utilize some sort of parallel vertical chassis braces. Not too sure what they will look like, or how I will arrange the tranny.

Steering will be a dual bell crank setup, simple and strong. I will most likely mount the servo to the vertical braces, like the bpp lightning.

Still thinking, and I have not started anything yet...
