that really helps with the departure angle. I dont know why but it just looks really short. I like the design though. I havent seen a sami like it.

Looks kinda cool, have you considered 4 linking the rear and pushing the axle back instead of bobbing the frame, I know it's more work, but it would increase your stability a lot, while giving you the departure angle you're after.

I think the bars in the back should be hooked to something besides air. (w00t) Other than that it looks kewl. :headbanger:

the chop is good i think you should take it straight down though rather than angling it back towards the front. also i think a nice tube and chequre plate flate deck would look good on the back. always a good place to put stuff

Dang that looks short! I like it Zuk, but I thinl I would angle back so that you get more storage space, plus it would sort of match the front :thumbsup:
