First improvement.

Front Traxxas Slash 4x4 3.5 shocks

30wt oil with black Progressive springs front

45wt oil with orange Progressive springs rear





Seam like I need to add thicker oil in the rear. Kinda want to over steer.

Nah you do that all by yourself.

So why did you change the shocks out? Felt like wasting money?

Because I can.

Stock shocks are plastic plus kinda soft.

Now the front doesn't bottom out any more. Progressive springs make more a soft ride on all the small bumps. But had the heavies like a champ.

Looks fun. Plus that ride height is a huge improvement.

Well I found a way to get the Traxxas Big Bore caps on. After talking to Jamie from Fastlane Machines, he has some servo mounts for his Savage Nitro Conversion kits Threw the Big Bore Cap.

Fits Perfect.



Old HPI plastic caps on Big Bores



New FastLane Alum Spacers.

HPI just sent me a new WRX Festa body because my stock one was damaged. Well all the fancy stickers.

Time to have some paint thrown down.

It is a really fun car to drive. Seams super solid. I still need to get some off-road tires.

Sorry no Video

Little snow drifting still have to mount my offroad tire so there wasn't much traction.








But it was still fun.
