Default Must Do Mods?

i should be picking my Nylint up tomorrow, and was wondering if theres any mods i should do during the time its chargeing? or should i just run it stock, and then mod it how i see fit?

Cut the belly, its really easy and helps a lot!

Get rid of the stock axle skidplates and build some out of a beer can ;)

I havent really done any thing magnificent, but I painted it, lights with a heavy batt in the front, re-enforced the cage, cut the sliders apart, flipped the over and glued them on, new antenna (after my dad pushed it off the table)

trimming the spring tubes tomorrow to get more flex.

pics are in the nylint general forum

just like a real jeep, wheel it stock first to see what it CAN and CANNOT do and then mod it to fit your wheelin style ;) I do alot of rockcrawling with mine and when stock, the low center body section always got hung up on things so out came the dremel.
