This is as far as I got on the day 1. I couldn't add one of the rear links because the kit was short 2 set screws. Axial/Horizon Hobby were quick to ship me out a set at no cost so thank you sooo much for that! Received it 2 days later.

Sweet! Yes, such a great system. I was looking at the Hobbywing Axe system but the selling point for me with the CC combo is the aux control for the drag brake! Easy use with my MT4. Like pulling a parking brake when using the lever on my remote haha! So I have variable control for my drag brake while out on the trails. Plus, I've always been a fan of Castle systems

Here's some updates from over the weekend. Installed new front bumper and new rock sliders! I had to trim the original receiver box because the KYK kit came with a super tiny one and didn't fit my receiver. I liked the original one though because it has a little kick up for protection in the front but its also waterproof. The rest was replaced with the upgraded kit so instead of plastic, its now metal.



New Bumper

Also made a license plate to match the generation of body I am running. Original prototypical 1945 California license plate

I also installed a pair of front magnetic body mounts. These things are solid! I had previously ordered some cheap ebay ones and the magnets were very weak but 2 were also cracked cause they were so thin! My local hobby shop had a few of these Yeah Racing mounts and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend them

It was time to hit the road! Gave the "D Waggy" its first test run out in the open Saturday afternoon!

Sunday, I got around to picking up a new Vanquish 20mm servo horn. The plastic one that came with the kit easily stripped the day before
