i actually got to this point and i frequently run the car with it. i need to know what your plans are for the front. i tried like you are doing by drilling out the holes and such but the arms drug the ground. no biggie so i used bigger tires. then the clearance wasnt any better than when i used the regular arms with the big tires. plus then the whole suspension lined up right.

hey guys,
got a HUGE update on the car. i'll let the pics do justice:::: fixed up the rear suspension: still have good suspension: and then i am done with the chassis work!: i dont know if i told you guys, but the truck stock plate was not long/wide enough so i had to do some fabricating. even got the steering in! man that was a pain in the neck: i used a truck tierod, too out the thing attached to it(NO idea what its called:hmm: lol) and used one from a car tierod. look at the pic carefully and u weill get it. and it also got new rims and tires. i am using lego tires glued on to some deep dish lancer rims i made a while ago. those thongs are sick. Very Short Summary:P: i am using truck suspension parts, and a few custom fabricated parts. lego tires and still looking for a body well, what do you guys think? i am open to all suggestions. Later T.I.M

You've created the best rally project I have seen. How far out are the tires with the body on? Or is that still in the works. You've created a new xmod line yourself Xmods rally. The rear plates that hold the knuckles look kind of weak, you should consider going over them with a little epoxy, or even hotglue.

the body doesnt fit on with those tires. atleast half the tire is going to stick out past the body. even if he made the body sit low enough he couldnt turn even if the wheels were able to spin. they are to large for the body to sit low, its going to be a monster truck car that runs over real rally cars like mine haha.
