G-Rob's Optic RTR

Box stock and not a scratch!

First "mod" was to get rid of the stock fuel cell in favor of a DSM Off-Road Scale Dual Battery Bed

I opted for the molded filler cap as the anodized red was not to my liking

Before:

and After:

I also installed the included shift lever set onto the transmission. It was sure nice of Vanquish to include this along with a black plastic fill plug for the rear axle

Does anyone know why Vanquish included the 2 random black plastic washers? It was the only thing the in the box that I couldn't understand...

More soon as mail gets delivered!

Update!

It pains me to not be installing Vanquish parts on a Vanquish rig, but I refused to pay twice the price for bumpstops...

From H-Tech, I Installed functional bumpstops and steering ram clamps

And a before and after

Still to come are wheels and body panels. I'm still deciding on tires; probably see what the stockers are about
Batteries are in the mail, so no action shots yet
