connected the stealth trans with a belt.....and belt tensioners added.....everything tight fit.....belt tension acceptable.....

with A&L chassis stiffener....the chassis is so stiff ......like a tank....

installed a white pig motor to test the drive train..... smooth !!

Very nice!

Man, that looks awesome! How do you adjust the belt tension?

change the bearing size on the belt tensioners ..... or change the pulley size......sounds dump but it does work....

This is a freaking sweet build. Someday I may copy this build and make one of my own when I have more time.

cant wait to see it all done!

front kick, 4wds use less kick in the front.

Typically on a purpose built they do, but MIP got away with it
My version uses a 10 degree noseplate however

Like to see how you going to mount front camber links. Love the creativity here, would love to build one myself after you guys figure out all the issue

very good observation.......I am still thinking what is the best way to mount the front camber links......several possible methods in mind actually.....

installed the shocks...... adjusted the turnbuckles.....

Looking great! I was thinking about bracing the extended inner front joints on mine, yours may want a brace also?

yes Jeff........ inner joint brace is necessary I think....

Also, how is your width with the yokomo wheels? Are you legal?

great job on the front turnbuckles....that is where my head was before seeing it on yours. i did something similar as an exercise once, but yours is done much better/cleaner than I was able to.
