I have ordered my first updates

1.
Because i already planned to upgrade to other wheels i did not glue the stock tires on the stock rims but that is undrivable because the tire leaves the rim immediately
Solution: ordered a set of high mass beadlock wheels.

2
I found that crawling speed was to high and not very much scale looking, at the other hand i also like some speed and that is OK with my setup so i have ordered a RC4WD 2 speed gearbox to reduce my crawling speed and keep possibility to get a high end speed.

Like it a lot.Digging the beadlocks.Dont like the greean Axial emblem.

So maybe i have to remove the stickers, but first i want to drive and practice crawling

To get the 2-speed working i had to rotate the skidplate 180 degrees because the front driveshaft conflicted the upper front link and the angle of the driveshaft was too sharp.
I also changed the long driveshafts for the short ones which were included in the kit box. Now everything is running free and smooth.

To make the fun complete a fitted a FPV set, i am really curious how this will work out.
