|  Little Help!!!...what do i get next?
I'm somewhat new to crawling. i did BTA steering, 4 link with high clearence arms and delrin rod, flipped my shocks, clocked the axle for more steering, drilled and weighted the wheels, bigger rover tires(best thing i did) cut the body up, lipo batteries with dean connectors, hitech servo with allow arm...so what do i do next. being i had a real crawler for years i'm all all about function, not beauty. If its not beat down then you didnt push it hard enough. its so much more functional now but like every gear head i want more...pictures to follow. the wife has the camera

This sounds like my ax-10, rovers, 4 link, bta, lipos. I just put in a vp dig unit today and it awesome. I would recomend that if u are looking to do comps, or maybe a new chassis. I still have the stock chassis, but read nothing but great things about the gatekeeper chassis's. If u don't already have them, mip driveshafts would be a good upgrade as well.

Put underdrive gears in the rear axle. It will help with torque twist and flipping over on steep inclines  |

New chassis/shocks/links. It will really transform your rig. I run the Underground Crawler FF-4. Can't say much about any other chassis' as I have no experience with them.

Put some power in there! ESC and a good 35t handwound motor. Then you'll have a lot of broken parts you can upgrade.
