The next pics are the rolling chassis. The front and rear diffs bolted in with no issues. The "arms" of the bulkheads that reach towards the middle of the truck needed to have small spacers between them and the underside of the chassis. I made small blocks of aluminum to serve as mounts/spacers for the shocks. The servo dropped straight in. You can't see it in the pics, but I made a thin sheetmetal cover for the top of the rear diff. In earlier pictures, you could see the chassis had to be cut out to clear the rear ring gear. This left it exposed, so I made the thin cover to bolt to the top of the chassis to seal it up. I used standoffs to move the rear body mounts forward some. Everything else is stock Mini Revo stuff. I was able to pull the front and rear suspension/differential assemblies from my stock truck and bolt them right on to this chassis.

The Tekno Neu 1512/2D/F mounted up.

As you can see, there is plenty of motor space now. In fact, this chassis can accomodate a motor up to 3.3 (84mm) in length. So, I guess anything up to a Neu 1521 should bolt up to it.
