Graphite Runner/Vonats Maybe?
Picked up a solid graphite chassis, going to make a runner out of it, maybe try to make it to the Vonats. Question about the build, how much modification can be done and still be legal to run at Vonats? Example, I have an extra set of V2 shocks from a B4 (.89 front, 1.18 rear). Would I be able to use them? I am not looking to go crazy.

I am not usually a big fan of black parts but here it is so nice with the graphite chassis!

Looking like a good basis 
what's up with that rear bulkhead, esp. on the right?

Tub chassis with B4 front and rear ends screwed on count? Just kidding, though some of the builds I've seem might as well be.

Lonestar, I cut down the rear bulkhead, see below. I have seen it before here on the forum and thought it looked cool.
RC10Riley, if I do use the ESC shelf, plan is to prop it up on some aluminum poles in front of the rear bulkhead.

Good looking car! You could use big bore springs to avoid spring rubbing on the shock body. And they also look better as they're all black.
