cheers for the reply guys
we have the durango diffs and j concepts steering so it sounds like we are complete,
looked at the schelle chassis but i couldn't part with £60 not knowing if it made the buggy any better, and i think the shorty battery conversion is going to be exspensive
only paid £35 for the avid chassis off ebay all new still in the bag
the chassis protectors knackered because they folded it over the chassis to get it in a small jiffy bag then the post office looked like they have driven over it with a 44 tonne scania and put a lovely crease right in the middle
anyway we will try the chassis this weekend and see how we get on
cheers
