You can see in the clear shot that it drops down below the skid - another option is to heat it an bend it in towards chassis

I think it would look better if i cut rather than bending it in at the bottom . My buddy jeremy suggested running it first before i cut or bend it . To see how much i would need to cut it .

Looks good Mike! Nice rock course, but you will want to add to it. My buddy started with about that many and in 3 months we had his fence down and put about 5 tons of rocks in his back yard.

Hey Mike, what did you end up doing about the front wheels rubbing the knuckles? Did you get the wider Traxxas hexes after all?
