Quick update.
Made some shocks and slapped them on as spares. Cut some balsa strips to act as 2x4 planks. And covered the bottom of the ESC and added some coverage for the rear in the form of poster board.

Added some 3d printed gas cans. Made some brackets out of balsa. New rims and tires coming soon too!

Got some new rims from BIGWORM. I think they look fantastic. They add about 6 grams per wheel also, and work perfect with my losi micro crawler wideners. I also printed out a first aid kit and made a spare tire mount that uses a stock wheel and tire. I forgot to mention I added preload spacers to the shocks and they seem to perform a little better. Not as bouncy, which I tested before the spare tire was added.

Bought a 2nd scx24 the other day to hopefully get some of my friend involved. And so they won't want to drive mine haha.

Added some 3d printed door handles. And painting up some hinges, but so far they don't look great. Most of the accessories I use have to be scaled down in my slicer. I can link them and what I scaled them down to.
Really like these new rims. The extra weight on each wheel works wonders.

Like they didn't have the file or their printers couldn't handle it?

Treatstock said the printer person could not make it. To them, it was too small to make. They thought it should be for 1/10th size only. I just asked for my money back and wont try them again.

Forgot to mention I slapped on some mickey Thompsons. No glue needed, they fit perfect!
Added tubing to the spare shocks as well.

Here's some randoms I think this forum might enjoy:

More update photos! Burned out the stock motor but luckily had a just ordered a ff-030 from rc4wd just to try. I moved the esc/rx unit more central and lower. Added some more lights and other accessories. The red crawler is coming along too. I have the super swampers for it but no rims yet.

I've got some videos coming soon

Thanks boss!
The claws are amazing.. They have alot more grip than the stock tires but they are smaller. You can find them at rc4wd or Amazon. The wheels are gearhead m-12's from RPP's website. The claws fit them with no glue if you use foams. If your not using foam it will depend on the quality of the tires you get (one of my tire was significantly less stiff than the other 3 tires and wouldnt stay on the rim, luckily they are cheap).
The rc4wd motor is good so far. I'm using the brass pinion that comes with it. It's definitely a little slower than stock. But that comes with a little more control and torque, but less wheel speed. Using the stock pinion might bump the speed back up.
I am also a fan of the bumper! Found that on thingiverse, sanded the heck out of it then painted it.
