It can carry it's own weight again.











Now it's time for a new ''body''.

The light output is not bad at all considering it's just a cheapo eurostore lightkit.

I really like how you shorten the rear cage. It looks more portion.

Thanks,man.

I pretty much cut off all unnecessary material like they do on some of the rigs used in the ''Croatia Trophy''.

More details:


Added a M3 nut to the seat to keep Willy in place.




Chopped Willy's back to make sure the loinsupports aren't in the way when the seat is in the upright position.




Skidplate mod.




Steeringwheel mod.




Chopped interior + firewall.




Modded interior to ensure an uninterrupted suspension cycle.




The underside of the battery/electronics plate.




Soldered the motor leads in a 90 degree angle.

Thanks,man.I've learned the hard way to measure twice and cut once.




The new body panels are a little over double the weight of the RTR panels at 29 grams.

It was a nice idea to run steel panels but it's back to lexan for this build.





Added a fairlead to the front bumper.

The lexan panels are a lot more user friendly.(no corrosion)
And i noticed some glitching with the steel panels and i'm guessing that is probably due to the Faraday cage effect.
