Any chance of a small write up of how you did the wheels?
Trucks looking good too, almost be a shame to get it dirty.

The drag link and cross bar from the outlandish arm are the wrong way round?
(Nips out to check Eric...)
At least they are compared to Erics.....

Very nicely done, I love the factry finish he seems to be able to create.
I wonder what origonal idea he has in store for indicator relocation.
Rich did you consider using the fancy lick "double bush" design on the panard rods?

Do you think you get any benifit Danny ?
IMO if the links are setup correctly then you shouldn't need to as the axle should stay flat (hardly any rotation) so the bushes on the panard only really deflect and rotation is minimal!
I don't think Paul is refitting the indicators as it's now offroad only!

I presumed you had left them out due to minimal axle rotation, thats why asked if you had only maybe considered them. I think in use alongside your 1 link on zero it would be a cool addition.
Getting rid of any restriction on suspension movement on a light car makes a huge difference, but as you say in this setup it would probably be overkill.
thats a shame I like to see his designs come to light.
It is a good looking truck which now has the performance to impress as well.

thanks for your kind words danny
the body work is a quick fix for kirton that said im starting to like the lines and might stick with it if i can find some nice small round indicators i will french them in a little higher up than the last ones
they will only be for show as the zook is off road only as rich said. but i do like things to look right
