Alright here is my new Vaterra Slickrock 1/18.

It is okl, but needs some work. I think it can be a better rig. Here are the problems out of box.
WIRING MESS!!

HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE OF WHEELS.
Tire vs. photo image-7.jpg

Im thinking next is, re-rout wires, move battery, and move ESC. Im new to modifying rc rigs, but Im also thinking of getting the wheels out wider. Maybe spacers, or longer axle shafts. And also getting the tube chassis up higher with longer links. We will see.
