Thats exactly what those two holes on the RR knuckles are for . Here are the rest of the build pics for those that are interested . The tires are proline calibers, in m3 compound .

Guys after reading about the ve8 chassis breaking up Fr & looking at mine that i just built . I think i may have come up with a idea to help strengthen the FR end . This is the idea i came up with . I was thinking 2mm or 3mm aluminum would work fine. Right know it's just masking tape to show what it would look like . It would double as a brace & skid pad . As you can see it would cover the seem were the FR plate & chassis are connected . The black line is there just to show were the slight bend would be . I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are on my idea ?.

I imagine those would make it stronger.

an interesting point about plastic chassis for 1/8 scale is the new traxxas slash 4x4. it is not 1/10 scale. wheel base and width lines up perfectlly with my 808. curious to see how that chassis holds up on the outdoor track this summer.
