What a cool build! That's going to be a fun ride.

What did you use to trim the chassis to fit the new rear suspension and front bulkhead? I'm hoping to get a mutt Ultima Pro XL based project going this winter and it'll involve cutting a new chassis from carbon plate.

Nice buggies but don't forget to wear a respirator when cutting or grinding carbon fiber.

I believe it, lots can be accomplished with simple tools. Thanks for the feedback! I'm looking forward to seeing it run. :mrgreen:
