    You've already got the xl/cbolt combo. I'd get a standard chassis, Gladiator links and another set of cbolt links

    That's why the standard chassis came to mind.

    I can always break down my XL chassis and swap to Gladiator links and put the C-Bolts on the regular one.

    Great idea!

    Picked up a nifty light bar.

    Came with a Baja body.

    How it sits is where it fits. Everything clears, maybe some trimming in the rear.

    Will need to print something up to take advantage of the rear hinge. Front magnets are a slam dunk, sits at the perfect height, level with the sliders. The longer frame might have been about right, but this was meant for a wheelbase of 132mm, so it would have sat more forward.

    @Strictlytoyz

    I also shot Joey a text. He asked that I do with my order number so he can add my 15 degree skid to it.

    Sheesh you went all out!

    I don't even know what body I'll be running but I might want to try LGRP's body on the XL chassis when I swap shit over.

    Thinking I'll run LGRP wheels and their Black Label tires.

    After a little creative slicing, I made the body a tad thicker. The doors were paper thin and broke way too easy. Ended up with 34g of weight. The bug is 26g with the rollbar.

    A little sanding and paint and she's good to go.

    This one has grown on me, so I guess it'll have two bodies.
