Very nice work. I just bought the derwood steering, shock uprights, and servo relocation. But I don't really know what it looks like.

wish I could get my student version of Solid Works to cooperate. I'd be able to make parts in a hurry LOL. Oh well. Great job Tomster!

Incredibly clean install on that winch Tomster! Is the lead screwed into the plate or is it thru-hole screws with small nuts on the back? Can't tell in the pic.

If your into crawling could you get a battery to sit on the shock mount plate up front.

The winch is from 3racing and yes it pulls the rig in scale manner!

Yes, i will try to make a full Ultra4 light-kit and add some scale parts.

The space under the hood is perfect for a small lipo pack and i will decide from race to race if i use it there.
i think the rig is very balanced with the shorty flat in the chassis, its compensating the motor-weight.i will try to install the ESC, BEC and RX under the hood and than try it!

Thanks!

How did you reposition the spare? Once I get the front shock mount, I'll be repositioning the battery like you've done. Less weight out back is a good thing!

I'd like to see that spare tire mount as well. Looks like ive been attempting the same mods you are doing successfully. I think I'm going to be copying you a bit.
Just curious. Are you using your th for mostly crawling or speed?
