something different..................
Im using a AMT Dodge ram D50 as a base for my rock crawler. I am only using the cab and Im cutting the doors off and back wall out. All hand made aluminum frame and cage. Will have moving suspension and I will most likely have to make my own springs seeing that theres not much out there in the way of a low compression spring suitable for models. Looks like Im going to have to order some super swampers from RPPHOBBY and possibly scratchbuild the bead locks. Might go ahead a make the whole rim from scratch out of PE materials. This is going to be more of a flashy rock crawler if that makes sence. Meaning, shiny paint job, maybe grafix. Possible cowl hood, and tons of PE parts.
some pics...............     alot left to do on the frame/cage!............enjoy!!!

Re: something different..................
Looks awesome, I can't wait to see this one move forward and maybe... finish? I have some springs out of some pens that might work well, they are very long and are pretty weak, so they might be just what you need.

Rollcage looks killer man! Suggestion for the springs....try a pen? Take apart a pen that has a spring in it. I've used them before for shocks. Dont know if the scale will be right for what you want but cant hurt to take a look. Keep up the good work cant wait to see more.
