Well, I finally got around taking some pics of it. I still have some cleanup to do on the side plates, but Here's what I built:

AX-10 Scorpion:

- Homebuilt chassis w/ interchangeable shock mounts (I've only built one set so far).
- stock axles.
- SMC straight axle kit.
- stock transmission.
- bent rear lower links.
- custom bent long upper links.
- Homebuilt 4-link servo plates.
- Homebuilt verticle steering servo mount.
- Integy MSR-10 shocks run upside down w/ soft springs, full droop.
- ProLine M2 FlatIrons w/ Proline memory foams on ProLine wheels.

Electronics:
- (oldschool) JR Propo R1 TX w/ Spectrum.
- Spectrum SR3000 RX.
- Castle Sidewinder ESC.
- Castle BEC.
- HH Cralmaster 3014 1000kv BL motor.
- Venom 3s 20c 2100mah Lipo battery...11.1v!!!

Yeah, I ended up with alot more flex than I wanted. With the stock chassis, I had binding problems, and I was constantly snapping the right rear lower link end at the axle. Since the rebuild, I have yet to break one, so until then or until I get in trouble due to binding at flex, I'm just going to leave it...though I may lose some articulation when I swap out my links. I have 12' of 5/16" Delrin rod, 3' of all thread, and a couple packs of Revo link ends to replace all of the aluminum links.

Looks good man you got any pics of the bottom, just wanna see link set up.

Here's the bottom. I'm using the Stage 3 Delrin skid.

Oh, and I have just a hair over 2 3/4" of ground clearance at the center, and I'm just as stable as my buddy's who are still on stock chassis.

Where did you get the bottom plate from? I looked in your list 3x but I didn't see it listed.

I got the skid from Stage 3 (http://stage3.charlienaebeck.com/). I really wish I would have gotten the narrow one, but I wasn't planning to completely redesign the chassis when I first ordered it.

They're ok. They work well enough in a droop setup. I wouldn't care much for them in a traditional setup, though. They're a little big, and still leaked a little when right side up.
