I usually do a build thread but this time I just didnt feel like it because of how long it took to build. My next build (2.2) that I do I will do a build thread for. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about the build or for any other pictures you would like to see.

I recently pulled my og clod with cantilever suspension sassy chassis out from under my work bench and I'm thinking about building a crawler just for playing around here at home. I already have some aluminum c- channel laying around that is 2 inches wide and 3 inches tall and I thought that I could cut it to length and maybe cut some of the height off of the sides and make it work. What are the dimensions and thickness of the aluminum channel that you used ?
