Well, I have pretty much finished the design stages on my custom truck. Here is a simple chassis layout pic:

There is a lot more info on the website (Project: Home-Brew (http://www22.brinkster.com/homebrew)) so please check that out. But I can't start construction untill I sell my T-maxx.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith.

PS, (mods) if this post is still wrong, please email me.

Boy, that's one THICK chassis. j/k. Hurry and sell that Maxx. We want to see your drawing come alive. The layout looks pretty spacious, how long is it going to be and what size engine are you going to run? Good Luck

Well since I have so many spare parts and accessories and stuff, I can't really afford to sell it much cheaper than $500.
Thanks for the interest,
Keith
