Default what Mods?

What mods have you guys really found helpful? Also tell if it is a scorpion or the jeep?


The only things I have done so far to my Jeep is lengthen the WB 1 1/2", flipped the rear suspension arm over ( the piece between the 2 suspension links) and dovetailed the rearend.I also cut out 3 coils in all the springs. All I have found have worked extremely well.

I tried mounting some Maxx shocks, but they just seemed to big. so i went back with the stock ones.I think my next mods will be LED's and to make all the bumpers,rollcage and stinger from real tubing.But i really don't see where those would help performance.

So what all have you done? anything major done to a Scorpion yet?

Real electronics and ESC. I haven't done it but I'm working on it. The digital controls really blow, but for 44.95 heck what do you expect. I reversed my rear axel also it doesn't get hung up near as much, I can now climb small steps. Played with my shock mounts for 3hrs today I think I got a hot setup now. It's all about the flex.....
