So, been a while since I build anything so decided to swap things around a little bit. Budget is tight atm, so I'll try to work with what I have and 3D printed parts mostly.
The idea is to make a more crawling biased 312mm TRX4, as light as possible.
The body I'll use is an old 1/12 generic truck style body, that I've already cut it's fenders for another project.

It's a good starting point. It measures around 40cm in lenght which is on the short side for the TRX4 but I'll probably sort that out by printing a truck bed for it.

I marked and cut openings on the side windows and the front
