This TW was procured via a trade on FB. It came with GCM upright shock mounts/forward battery tray, GCM bell crank steering, HR rear trailing arms, Pro-line shocks, aluminum body panels, rear MIP driveline and rear sway bar. It needs some parts replaced; bearings, front CV's, cage, Chubs, knuckles and make the front locked diff into an open diff, all of which are on their way to me. Until then I started the refresh preliminary rebuild/refresh phase which is now complete. So far I have; -Locked the trans into 2nd gear -Removed the shift servo and its mounting plate -Installed STRC Yeti trailing arms -Installed VP Ti Wraith lower 4-links as the rear upper links -Installed a Hot Racing Bomber front sway bar as the rear sway bar -Installed STRC SCX10 rear shock hoops with droop mounts for front suspension -Installed MIP Yeti rear drivel line -Installed CNC Custom Wheels 1.9 deep dish beadlocks wrapped in 1.9 KLR's. This rig is running on a Monster Mamba Pro ESC with an Axial Yeti stock 3150kv Vanguard motor conmected to the trans via 32p steel spur and pinion combo. The servo is Savox running off of a Castle BEC and all lighting is 12vdc remotely operated. Future upgrades will be: -VP Knuckles and Chubs -Hot Racing aluminum axle tubes, upper and lower rear arm and link mounts -SCX10 main transmission -Pro-line Yeti rear shocks -MadDogRC round-housing front LED headlights -Punisher hood and side panel graphics -Distressed American flag on fast-paced panel -Fast Eddie bearing throughout -New front CV's -Rebuilt front diff open with 500k-1mil wt. diff lube -Scale fuel cell and fuel lines -Scale radiator -Scale fire extinguisher I will post final pics once details are installed in a couple weeks. First vid is the Jump Test. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

That thing looks really cool, really well built, and really fun to drive! The extra shock mounting on top of the GCM shock hoops strikes me as very a creative way to increase your shock options. |

Mostly I did it due to having no limiting straps and needing to limit the arm travel a bit so the dogbines didn't where on the very ends of the cups or pop out. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk | |

Maybe a noob question, but what are chubs? Also, how do you access the battery location?

The battery is mounted and accessed via the functioning reverse opening hood. Chubs are C-Hubs which are what the steering knuckles attach to. C-Hubs Knuckles Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk | |

So was doing some work on the rig today and I noticed a bunch of oil all over the right rear side. The stock Axial Yeti 5" blew its bladder apparently the day I tested the jumpability. So next on the list is a set of Pro-Line 5" Powerstroke shocks along with some VP Chubs and knuckles. And since the Pro-Line shocks are a little larger in circumference I will most likely need to rework the rear swaybar as to clear the shock springs... again.

I thought I'd add some pics of the finished rig minus a few small tweaks I still want to make... Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

It looks really nice. Personally I'm a sucker for old school round lights but I'm in the process of adding scale parts and light mounting systems to thingiverse. Let me know if there is something u are looking for. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2397853 I'm adding bolt in rear running lights/fan tonight |
