Stretched 'Zilla

I found a Clodbuster axle mount kit (actually 1 of 10014 when I bought it!) by LEVEL3-RC on eBay so I just had to get one. Using these parts lengthens the wheelbase by 1" or 25mm on each end. Please 'scuse the rubbish picture here but you can see the effect with just the back one fitted. On the second pic you can just about make out that the rod ends are now well ahead of the axle, where they mounted on its centreline before.



In the top pic you can see the front two mount plates and the extra reinforcing plates for the 'C' hubs that come with the kit. I've primed them with etch and painted them black.
