resoldered some frayed leads going into the punk dig coming from the rx, cleaned up the wiring lengths, and crammed the sidewinder/rx/punk dig into the smallest area I could think of,without being uncased and shrinked.

re-polished out the cases and axles and knuckle weights, first rig I actually detail before a comp:shock:

(thanks to Mustangboy being an east coast bling king :lmao If I am not mistaken he layed the paint on this rig as well?

changed out to some 80 wt oil and stiffer mrc springs after yesterday's test N tune,and outboarded the rear uppers to add some more predictability. moved the front shocks further forward on the chassis.

bought a nice Dynamite nut driver (matches the wheels!) and took it to a grinder and shaved the outer diameter to fit inside the deep hubs of the SLWs for the 8mm fasteners on the 300s and ckrc rears.

added an rcbros locker to the front,gonna go ahead and do one for the back. the locker with gear feels lighter than the old locker by itself! killer fit and finish. my rear locker seems to be fine,but with clod stall from the punk dig and not so badass motors, the locker will definitely help it out. got the RCBros rear mount on as well, love the height adjustability,but the front to back could use tweaking; in its farthest forward setting, its still clocking the axle back towards being flat on the bottom instead of kicking the motor up in the air to clear the lower rear links. definitely looks nice polished out to match the cases!
