Yeah, the new version kits come with all metal axle gears and driveshafts that are held on by a screw

Lots of kits arriving with crushed packaging. I was lucky to only have a small crease in the front fender.

Did you order from Banggood? WPL-RC.com is way better with shipping. Unfortunately they don't carry standard kits and RTR's at the moment

So I just got a new C14 in a trade (The tan one). It's a 1st gen kit, so it has the softest tires, a wimpy black gearbox, and plastic ring and pinion. I first started with painting some stuff black like the wheels, frame rails, and toolbox and it looks way better now. I'm probably going to just put the 260 gearbox from my C24 in it when I buy a 2-speed for the 24.

Sweet! I love the C24, I can't post pics here on my PC, but you can see my build on my YouTube channel; Overland_RC

Prototypes for new trusses, including axle mounted steering. These prototypes are 3D printed to check fitment, but final units will be 16ga steel for strength and a bit of weight...

Sorry about the photo quality, I need some PETG that isn't black, lol...

New frame to eliminate the front pieces to make room for the axle mounted servo, and added new mounting points for longer shocks...

Axle trusses need another revision, lower mounting points didn't quite work the way I expected, but should be a pretty easy fix...

I may have gotten frustrated enough with the trusses to give something else a shot... (still a work in progress...)

Finally running again. Overall pretty happy with my chassis/suspension mods. Decent suspension travel without being bouncy/floppy. Axle mounted servo is about 1000% better than the stock CMS, lol. Dromida shocks are working pretty well, but I'd still like to soften them up just a bit more...

Beadlock redesign will be next, my 3D skills are way better than they were a few years ago, hoping to widen the bolt circle by at least a few millimeters

I never got the notification for these replies. That build is super sick btw!

How's the suspension link clearance on the 2-speed servo? People often have problems with them hitting the servo arm

Thanks.

Yeah, I wasn't able to install the servo, I have the shifter wired into place in low gear right now, and have a single-speed 370 setup on the way.

I also need to go through and measure all the hardware so I can order the correct stuff, it's kind of cobbled together at the moment.
