I was able to put a few bends in the ESC mount to get the clearance I needed. I cut one end loose to make up for this piece pulling the sides together and then filled the gap with my mig
I thought I was going to have to move it up much higher and then space the ESC down accordingly but this works much better.






I also did a bit of work to the front servo and servo mount. before I can get to full compression up front the servo horn hits the cage, this limits travel by 5-6mm.


I filed down the VP servo mount around 2mm





Then to get the servo to actually sit lower I extended the mount points on the servo. I 3D printed a jig that uses some metal sleeves so I could use a drill bit without destroying the jig. I also found a lower profile servo horn but when I tried to pull off the VP horn I got the sense I was about to strip out the screw holding it and decided to just live with it.







I got a little bit of crawling in yesterday and I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this rig and 4WS. Unfortunately the rocks at the beach had a ton of wet sand washed up on them so the typical grip was not there. The tires got all sandy which I usually try to avoid but there was no avoiding it yesterday.

I've got an 1800kv revolver in one, and 2500kv on the other two (one AR45p, two Capra axles). I can certainly use some slower motors since I tried to go higher due to the extra gearing with the 2.low.

Thanks Lashlee, I think I'll go for a 1000kv revolver and if thats too slow I can try different pinions or jump up to 4S.
