Default Base camp vs Phoenix straight axle

Just got some company for our Phoenix last weekend.

Will be fun to compare those two in the trails!

I think the base camp offers a lot for the price and is a great canvas for a build.

After some trail riding with my son and the Base camp, id say the first thing to fix on those is the weight distribution....

Its 50/50 in stock form and so light compared to my phoenix.

Doesnt feel good on the trails but a simple battery relocation to the front should help a lot.

Oh and like all the reviews says, be prepared for some body/bumpers trimming

Yeah they definitely need the wheel wells opened up and I moved the front bumper back and trimmed the corners.

I was pretty impressed with mine in stock form
