I didnt notice the kick up in the rear. i thought it was all flat front to back.  so when the fuel cell question came up, i thought the whole frame was gonna be mounted to where it layed just body and not frame, which would take away some of the travel.  My bad, keep up the great work--------------------------------------------- haha that cool it happens.

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by MJAVY7This is one bad build!!! 1 question...Whay did you keep part of the old frame?I often see that, is it that much harder to do the extra 15% of the frame?---------------------------------------------Here is another question, Why "section" the bed? now it looks like a micro machine, is that the idea?
