Since I've always liked cross-building, and not being happy with the steering and mono-shock set up on the fox, I decided to play around with whatever spares I had.
The spares were some Traxxas Rad 2 front arms. I has to cut and grind them down in order for the arms to fit onto the fox arm mounts, this is what I came up with.....(Warning: these are extra old parts that I'm using to mock everything...the car itself is untouched....)
I had to re-drill the fox's hinge pin hole in order to fit the Traxxas hinge pin...

Keep in mind, this is still a mock up, so this is not the final stage, I used a fiberglass plate that works as a temporary shock tower, front Traxxas shocks that are a bit long...but it all looks pretty good, I'm trying to stay away from drilling the original chassis...
