Default Yet another build thread, but I'm looking for advice :)

Bought my first axial scx10 honcho 3 weeks ago and I have had plenty of nitro and electric cars, stadium trucks but nothing compares to scale crawlers. I ran it out of the box with a venom 3000 nimh battery. I will and I repeat never use venom batteries again. I only bought the battery and a onyx 100 battery because I was new and didn't know what was best yet. One had a dead cell returned it and got another one because I was only getting 10-15 minutes run time out of them.
Couldn't resist getting a proline cherokee body, considering i sold my 1:1 couple weeks prior.
Same day I bought CMS, alum 4 link, alum steering links and knuckles, and axial plastic bumper (going metal soon)
Went to show me scalers group gtg and had to use 2 venom 3000 batteries just to get up the FIRST hill pretty depressing. So I got on the hunt for lipos, traded my tablet I didn't use anymore for 2 lipos and balance charger. Reedy 526-S, trakpower 5600mah and wolf pack 3000. Very happy to get an hour + on both packs. Any body else use these batteries and how does the charger hold up?
Anyway got a little tired of throwing dirt and rocks into my electronics and motor etc so I made some fender wells, got the idea off here. And also "tinted" the windows with nite shade for cars. Got some liquid plasti dip and sealed up the esc and marine greased the axles.
Here's how it sits now with the spring stoppers off too

Next step is to finish my trailer and get my hitch I ordered. Any suggestions and comments or tricks and tips LET ME KNOW I'm all ears.
