bought this chassis from a member on here a while ago. iam not sure of the chassis, but the wheels are from the losi slider, has frt/rear rc10ds arms and a stealth trans. the blue is darker in person and looks so sweet!

Man, that scaled out nicely. Looks great!

Does it turn? Doesn't look like much room between the front tires and inside of the wheel-wells.

I guess if it has a steering servo installed, it ought to turn.

Seems logical, although all mine have motors in 'em and they ain't goin' nowhere! I generally install servos in mine just to keep the wheels straight on the shelf. You're correct though. May have just been bad planning too. I ordered and painted a body for an oval truck only to find that when I mounted it there was no room left for steering.

Then again, I often tend to leap before I look.

I had the same issue with CYANide, and had to open up the front wheel-wells even after installing the narrow front arms & CVDs to allow it to steer properly.

I've often seen pictures of dropped-into-the-weeds 1:1 customs that I suspected were Photoshops because there was no way the vehicles could steer the way the tires were stuck inside the 'wells like they were...or they'd need hydraulics to lift the body up before they could turn.

Or they just trailer the cars and back them straight off into the correct parking position. Then when the car show's over, pull the trailer up right in front of the car, load it up, and haul it away...the epitome of "show, not go".

it frt tires do turn but the body is sitting on top of the rear tires its a shelfer plus didnt want to cut holes for body mounts.
