Custom MRC X Chassis Suggestions Please.

Here is my custom made MRC X Chassis.
Still very much a prototype I'd like to make it better any suggestions would help.

Currently it allows 3 postiions for mounting the shocks..
Not sure what the Benefits would be on the diffrent postiions it only raises it a little higher.
But I'm guessing the angle of the shock also makes a diffrences.
(Sorry I just started crawling dont know all the details of making a better crawler yet.. lol)

Ive also added a lower body mount option again it's not much lower...
but any lower and the body starts hitting the chassis.

Again this is very much a prototype.. Any suggestions to make it better
would be much appreciated..

Here are some pics below.

Thinking about it. Again it really depends on how well it turns out. I also want to make a mounting platform for the elctronics to be placed on the Y link.

Changed it again.. lol

The shock mounts can be lowered or raised to desired height.

The screw that mounts the shocks will also serve as a brace, going
across to the other side plate.

Having the shock mount holes at an angle helps with not changing the
ride height but I does still change a little. My concern with the shock
mounts angled up is that it will require you to cut holes in the body.

I know the design is very diffrent from whats out there... But the
beauty of this design is being able chance out the shock mounts

As you see in the image there is a straight and an angled option.
Maybe in the future have one with a 4 link option...

Thinking about it.. I would really like to make a 4 link system... That from what I hear is the ideal set-up... As for the x chassis few more tweaks.. Maybe make the mounting holes for the shock mounts smaller to much play right now... If people express intrest.. then possible I could make a kit..
