The Dusty Motors bag cam in today,. Went with the Blue color this time round.

Broke the diffs down and they're now patiently waiting on some key parts.

Found massive slop in the integy servo saver.... many people complain about it. Funny thing is my last one was perfect. Luck of the draw I guess.

Also got to work on waterproofing the RX8, man I swear it was easier last time. What a pain in the rear. Now on to soldering

Got to some soldering last night, but got too tired and will have to finish up tonight.

God I hope I get the LEM package today and can slap this truck together for the weekend!

Did some waterproofing on the wires, plus helps them from getting ripped out as easily:

The diffs have been assembled with stock parts for now, will be upgrading to the LEM parts in a few weeks:

Had an extra winch clasp and rope so I made a faux winch for esthetics, 5 mins of work looks better than a fake sticker winch lol:

Did the first run testing on my v2 summit today, went well but have a few issues to look into.

Did some trail, climbing, dirt racing and jumping. Skid look shot after 1 run lol and the dusty motor bag was no match for my dust.

I broke 1 body screw pin, good thing I have spares. a TBR skid popped out but did not break and I put it right back in. Not sure how the faux winch stayed on but it did LoL

Still a work in progress, but here are some after pics:

Also got a package yesterday Cant wait to get these on but I`ll probably wait since It was just built 2 days ago, I`ll wear out some stock parts first and wait till I get the v4 axles for testing then do all the LEM upgrades at once.

The Summit is looking dirty, I haven't been cleaning like I usually do... just don't have the time , only driving about once a week. but still haven't broke anything yet worthy of taking it apart for its next batch of upgrades.

Hey folks, I finally have a chance to update some of my RC projects.

Here are some pics of my Summit v2 getting its diffs done and rebuilt for the brushless Tekin system.
