Default My MRC Build

Hey guys I bought my MRC a couple weeks ago and the modding started immediately

here is the current list
Lead wheels weights 6.75oz front wheels and 3oz rear and 3oz on servo
Axial 1.9 beadlocks
Proline Flatirons 1.9 w/Memory Foam
Hot Racing bent lower links
G-Made wheels wideners
Losi LiPo battery
Losi threaded shocks w/stock springs and black rear left
Losi 80 wt oil
Losi metal lockers front center and rear
TCSCrawlers hardware upgrade kit
Home made front steering links
Aluminum servo arm
Hitek 645 mg metal gear servo
Castle Creations BEC set at 6 volts
Home made rear 4 link setup
Flipped motor/trans
Relocated all electronics w/deans plugs

future mods include a grappler body front 4 link and either a dna mini slingshot or a gc2 chassis

here is a couple videos on a pile of cement blocks at a buddys house. the first one doesnt make it but it shows the difficulty of the terrain better

Nice steering link mod. I will use that for sure. The 645 puts the servo arm at a weird location and that will def help.
