Some updates...
some work done over a few nights...

Ordered an Axial 27T motor for the Brute...

fixed up the spare venom creeper transmission that i had left from the 6x6 build... Smile
mounted the tranny on the aluminium brackets and test fit under the cab...

needed some 60mm shocks... and found a set of spare shocks from my OTA-R31...
so built it up and see if it is usable... Very Happy

i had also mounted the shocks upside down to save some trouble in additional modifications to fit... Razz

the 60mm shocks are still too long... and causing the drive shaft angle to be very steep...

so... had to drill a few more holes to shift down the transmission a little as well as slant the shocks so as to lower the gap between the tyres and the fenders....

Drive shaft angle looks better now... although still a little on the extreme... Very Happy
once the body weighs down the suspensions... the angles should be good to go... Smile

Here's how the AEV Jeep Brute looks like now...
