hey guys, me n Landcrusier Ute are planning on building a crawler. does anyone know where to get a cheap suspension set up. im thinking a four point link set up would be best. i already have motors, radio gear etc. thanks.

oh, and does anyone know what bandwidth the competitions used. i.e 24 mghz synthesised, or just 36 mghz.

thanks guys.

And this kit to covert it to a good looking crawler

Looks good, anything in a 1:10 scale? and I note the TLT is discontinued so also range for possible bargins.
