FURITEK Carbon Fiber Grasshopper Frame Kit
Everything was as described and great quality fast shipping loving it
I put this on my Bronco keeping the original rear hinge mount on the hardbody. I did use the magnets to hold the front of the body and they work great. The chassis design really did lower the CG quite a bit. My only critique is that the wider holes drilled in the frame where it attaches the brass skid plate don't line up with where the links attach. Therefore you can't get a wrench on the link screws without having the skid completely removed from the body first. Also, there were only 5 tiny 1.4mm nuts included. I used 4 for to attach the links to the chassis rails, but what about the shocks? Yes, you have about 3 or 4 options to screw the shock ends directly to the body mount pieces (with the magnets). But there's several other shock mounting positions one can't use without having a nut to screw on the other end, as there's no threads in the carbon fiber chassis rails! Seems like including another 3 or 4 1.4mm nuts wouldn't break the bank on a $60 chassis kit. Other than those two things, the chassis kit is awesome at lowering the CG while looking good!
