That came out great! Looks like a fun day
Thanks guys! Upgrades - I would like to add a winch.
Also need to dial in the suspension. I will put spacers on the top shock mounts, they seem to bind a bit. Stock set up is medium springs front and soft rear. I will swap this and angle the rear shock forward to the front mounting hole.
This will cause the rear drive shaft to bind on the spur gear housing so I need to modify it.
If these changes aren’t enough I will go to other shocks.
After that, we will see. The need to tinker is strong!

Great thread SlooDon! I am starting a very similar build soon. Going not quite as much budget build, I have a Mamba X and a 6 shooter 2700 kV brushless for power lined up. Hoping to start this weekend.
I've seen your name on the Harley Designs live stream chats?
Enjoy your build!
Yes I like the live streams, can be hilarious at times! I also have picked up some tips.
Fun to listen while working on the kits and chime in occasionally!

I haven't decided on a body, but I like that j concepts tucked body you used. Also considering the proline cliffhanger

2nd run after putting axial White springs on the front and Green on the rear.
I have about 20% sag font and 5% rear. Smoother all around and does not hop when trail running. Looks more scale while running.
It crawls better and is less prone to flip, over backwards on steep lines.

A little practice comp action with some new crawling friends. Never tried one. I need a winch!

Had to get rid of the front bumper. Way too big. Also got more springs for the Incision shocks on the way. Plus shock keys for more tuning.
The over drive gears for the front axle came in along with some different pinions to make some gearing changes.
Version three on the way!

Bumpers on and DSM kit relocated. I’m kind of proud of how I redid the front and rear mounting points on the DSM!
I also lowered the body some more.
