The usual build. Emax servo, brass knuckles, diff covers, 7mm hub extensions, China beadlocks, Mudslingers with no foams, Bowhouse RC low cg battery and esc tray, Atlas body. I moved the battery forward to the esc tray and mounted the esc to the batt. tray. Driving it on my foam RC course.

This is my Mini Moab for the cold winter. Mater for scale. My daughter and I made gates out of flag toothpicks. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk |

What type of paint did you use over the foam? How is everything holding up? Would you make any changes next time?

I used the textured Rustoleum. It is actually holding up really well. As of right now I wouldn't change anything. I didn't want to make it to terribly big so it was a pain to move. It doesn't weigh much at all. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk |

I've done some more mods to Mater lately. Stretched Mater quit a bit. Deadbolt rear links and Driveline. Moved the rear links of the JLU to the front as well as the female side of the driveline. I had to trim it about a 1/4 " so it wasn't bottomed out. Had to trim the body in the grill to clear the servo/horn. Also did the Injora 050 motor swap. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk |

Made some more changes to Mater. G Speed LCG carbon fiber chassis and swapped out Mud Slingers for some LGRP Trail kings. The upgrades were well worth it. Driving on my big rocks for my 1/10 trucks. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk |

How did you mount the cab? Is id just the rear magnet or do you have more holding it on? |

I used some double sided tape to mount a thin piece of sheet metal to the battery mount tray. Using the magnet on the atlas body. Then I just drilled a hole in the body and used the stock jeep body post. Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk |
