Most likely just the engine, servos and other small things from it. I was thinking of using the traxxas jato front suspension and traxxas stampede for the rear. I want lots of travel front and rear. Any ideas from the people on here that have done sandrail builds?

Thanks in advance
The traxxas stuff is only 1/10th scale. It won't hold up to anything a 1/8th scale could put it through. The jato steering parts are very week and the stampede rear end is week too. The plastic axles definitely will not handle a .28!
