Thanks to everyone who has commented! It has been a great experience building the Pro. Not done yet still need to add the winch, finish detailing the interior and add on the exterior accessories. I also want to thank you all for what I learned from this forum prior to starting the build. Glad you all like it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: My 3rd Kit and it’s a Pro.....
Tonight I installed the winch and finished dialing in the transmitter. EPA’s, trim, etc. I didn’t use the Muscle winch but went with a Reef 422v2. I installed it with the spool to the rear and used 5mm shims to get the clearance I wanted from the panhard bar and mount. This also necessitated longer mounting screws. I didn’t have the flat head screws in a longer length so I used washers and button head screws until I can source the correct ones. Still waiting on my “Chrome” paint pen so I can complete my interior details and button this baby up! Note: I didn’t vent the tires…….I think I will as it seems a waste to have the predator compound and hamstring their performance by non venting them. What is you all’s experience on venting and non venting? Last edited by SloDon; 06-17-2021 at 11:39 PM. |

Finally got my “Chrome” paint pen and finished out my interior and assembled the body. No lights yet and still need to research the correct placement for the OEM badges. Not going to use the exterior window stickers. My come back mask off and paint thin black strips to look like window gaskets. She is getting close! Check out my sliver radiator fins! |

Love that two tone body, really gives the truck a unique look to it. I may have to borrow that idea when it comes time to replace my current bodies  Like the Scout badges too! Really great job with this rig, makes me want to charge a pack and hit the rocks! |

| Re: My 3rd Kit and it’s a Pro.....
Thanks guys! I took my time and really enjoyed the build. I’m hooked and as you know they are never really “done”. 😁 Needs lights, I have the Rigid set for the front. I also need to decide if I will trim out the windows. More fun to come…..BTW it has its first scratches after the last run…… |

Just a few changes today I went to 90wt Losi shock fluid. I also made a attempt at waterproofing my RX using conformal coating from TeamBrood RC.

Your PRO still looks to be in mint condition! Nice outdoor pics! Love the little trailer! Question on your trailer. What did you use for a stub axle and bearings? I printed this same type of trailer last year and still haven't found what is needed to attach the wheels. TIA |
