I then swapped the mounts back since they made the front tires hit the inside of the fenders, then busted out the dremel and chopped off the front lower valance.
Yes I cut the fronts of the fenders off.
Axles look nice, but how do they compare to the original axles? Looks beefy, spiral cut gears included and heavy too. Is it just me or did they widen the track a bit too?

Very nice color, I almost used that before.

Looks good with the red and SSD beadlocks.

The axles have a higher pinion, better turning radius, a bit wider, and the things you mentioned. I had to turn down my dual rates so the tires didn't run the leafs. They're pretty dang nice. Only one gripe is on the rear Axle, the shock mounts is on top instead of the bottom like the original yota axle.

You had mentioned sanded and primed did you actually sand the body first before priming it..

I am also doing upgrades to an RTR. Might see if my SCX10 II RTR Axles will work. Picked up a kit SCX10 II only reason I would consider it. Although I would have to get rid of the leaf spring setup altogether and really not sure if the RC4WD 3 Link/4 Link would work on those axles. Starting off doing a Body Lift, replacing ESC (really annoying that with the RTR the ESC has no Lipo Cutoff) and Servo, also going to be running RC4WD 1.9 Baja Claws 4.19".
