sandsucker x5ss

[roofchopper]

here is an early quick pic of the sandsucker, it comes with a ally skid pan that bolts to your std baja chassis and the frame bolts to that aswell as connecting to susp points, this frame will also come as a full chassis in tube

its also made bigger to fit the 62ers
