Nice project!

But i'll suggest you to find another steering setup to eliminate bumpsteer.

Looking good dude!

Are those IROK tires?

Are you going to use another piece of plastic to cover the bottom of the chassis? Otherwise I can see that servo being ripped off whilst you are crawling!

I glued the arms in place and made mini-z style springs.

Stage one with neo magnets.

They're Iroks. I don't really need the plastic, the massive size of the tires sorta protects it.

Ok that clears up a few questions.

It would help you in the future to put a cover on the bottom to protect the servo. If you are going for a hardcore crawler. Iroks arn't the best to use and using a servo mod, gearbox or a radline motor will help too.(something with more torque. Otherwise it is looking good. I am just throwing out my opinion's not to hurt your feelings or hurt you because you modified the car already.
