Casey TIG welded new link tabs and added some bracing to the spare tire tube along with a radiator mount and a 2 inch Vanquish Products light bar in the front and a 4 inch Vanquish Products light bar main.

I built Timely right up and wrapped the panels in orange with silver. The tire/wheel and foam combo is:
CWR-5004 1.50" width 6 Bolt wheels
CWR-3003 Deuce's Wild Standard foams (front and rear)
CWR-3015 Deuce's Wild Tuning Disc Set (one disc, on the outside of the foams in all four tires)
PB9008NK Pitbull Tires 2.2 Growlers with hand cut CI pattern

After the rebuild I put slicks on Timely:mrgreen: and drove on the street with Nova's Ark and Nova's Ark was driving a 2wd slash and we crashed on the street and Timely took a good tumble and the carbon fiber servo/upper link mount plate cracked and the chassis got tweaked..

I made a new plate out of 1/8 aluminum I never took any pictures of it. I also straightened the chassis best I could. I put Timely all back together and on the second battery the upper rear link mount ripped out again.

You can barely see the aluminum servo mount in this picture.

I took Timely apart and cleaned everything. Timely now just sits on the shelf as a bare chassis. The parts from Timely have not yet been used in a new build yet.

 
I still have a chunk of ti plate on the water jet guy's desk, if you're feeling up to welding titanium I can have beefier plates cut out. Extending the link tabs up and forwards should give enough surface area to stay together.

Hmmm. I dont have a purge block or a correct cup to TIG weld titanium at the moment. The weld broke from what looks like contamination I dont think any tab will work since the tube is contaminated with two welds what do you think?

Thank You
