pics as promised:


nothing special, no real fabrication. just links and an esc plate


i like being out playing around more than being in the house fixing. my pics will probably reflect that.




i live walking distance to some really good spots to crawl on rocks, play in mud & sand. just gotta be careful for the saltwater! it was stupid not to own one of these sooner. i'm pretty much out here everyday.

Nice job on the upgrades. I do have some questions regarding the front 4-link relocation. How difficult was it? And did you see improvements in handling and articulation? I'm looking at this RTR and the new Deadbolt. I know they're both different platforms but I'm leaning more to the SCX10.
