Default New old member lol with Sumo

Hi!I bought Redcat in 2014 and did some simple mods to the truck,then I put Chevy body on it.Because life sucks my little baby ends up in storage.Lately I dig rig out and I planning to do little more scale build (I do not like sumo chassis).I ordered upgrade blade kit from crawlerx.No suspension ,some extra links and we'll see where things ends up.I tried to post pictures with no luck.I hope I figure this out and I'll be able to share my progress with you all.Any help with pic posting will be very appreciated.

Ha!Did I said is almost done?Jokes on me
Ok when decide to rebuild truck i set on more scale look then crawler crazy tall body.Idea came from my next summer project lowering suspension in my dodge 1:1 scale.Flipping axles was my answer,no i didn't flip axles just shocks mounts on axles.Looking on Fungi lock outs help little btw ordered and on the way. I end up with 4 3cm shocks which i order and not gonna use lol,1/2inch lower COG and shorter articulation.Rig lost gigantic clearance but low COG and awesome look make up 4it(my opinion).

More things done to the truck.Because axles get closer to the frame I was able to mount servo to the chassis.After taking every thing apart I figure out how I will do that.More pics

Fungi lockouts show up.I wait on them for two reasons
1 (obvious)cleaning back axle
