What are you using as the leaf springs?

Interesting start.

[DanK]

nitro engine pullstarter spring. don't worry, i have a fancy suspension lined out for this one. :D

Looking pretty sweet so far DK!! You're really working quickly on this one so i'll be keeping a close eye on this project - i'm interested to see what else you have in store for this one.:)

UPDATE:

view of the interior without the seats

underside of the interior showing how far they stick off
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t162/DanielWGK2/new%20project/P3110015.jpg

but its okay because the frame is there to cover it.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t162/DanielWGK2/new%20project/P3110016.jpg

they also dont stick out AT ALL.

[DanK]

the micro-t board and hs55 servo will fit PERFECTLY.

all of the seats in. man, this interior is gonna be complete.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t162/DanielWGK2/new%20project/P3110019.jpg

different view of the same scene. you may be worried about how far they stick off the sides. i used the old "gen1 li-ion body fit" thing to my advantage here. i keep the CG low and the body stays on tighter. its win win.

plausable spare tire. most likely not because my tailgate wont be there to hold it on...

[helhedded]

[DanK]

[arch2b]

[DanK]

I took some pics outside of my truck. Detailing is just about wrapped up until i get it running.

[DanK]

hardly noticeable.

having to mount everything extremely close to the floor. I need to keep my rideheight down.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t162/DanielWGK2/new%20project/P3180002.jpg

such a short wheelbase is hard to work with...oh well, it'll work.
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t162/DanielWGK2/new%20project/P3180003.jpg

doesnt hurt the interior all too much
