Looks good so far. Any plans for an aftermarket chassis or more upgrades?

I am planning on some better shocks, not sure about a new chassis, this thing actually works very well the way it is and I don't know if I want to start messing around with a chassis right now, maybe after our points series is over for the year.

I am going to put the bent lower links on for sure and the aluminum steering knuckles. I also want to upgrade the plastic steering linkage and servo horn. Would like to upgrade to the MIP cvd drivelines. Also looking for metal trans gears.

Here are a couple of better pics as well. Shows my nearly flush body mounts. and my brass weights for the front wheels.

I broke the ball cup on a stock shock and I had the mini-t piggybacks sitting there so I tried them, it dropped the stance in the rear a bit and limited the articulation of the rear. It just happened to work really well so I have not changed it.

Theres nothing wrong with running a lipo on the stock ESC, I and several other guys I crawl with are doing it without a problem.
