This was my second build . I’m a Ford guy and it was on sale .
I like the two speed option , fast is fun at this scale .
Changed the tires to LGRP 64mm Swamp Kings .
Injora 3.78 neg offset stamped steel , brass in front wheels only .
Replaced the rubbery steering link with Treal brass link .
Used Furitek Rampart high clearance aluminum links for the shock mounting options , flipped them upside down to lower the truck a bit . The Furitek upper links are slightly longer and angle the axle pinion upwards .
I purchased Treal shocks but was unhappy with the weak spring rates so I combined them with 48mm Power Hobby shocks . Love the travel . I’m running stiffer springs in front , lighter in rear , the truck digs in instead of doing a wheelie with this set up
Currently running the plastic locked spool in front and rear .
I purchased the high speed motor , battery and heat sink . Now it’s too fast. Lol .
I attempted to try the FMS / FCX metal transmission gears but they have fitment issues . Ended up getting the Treal set that worked perfectly.
That’s about it for this build , no extra brass at the moment , I wanted to keep it light as possible . It runs great at high speed on the beach , rips up dirt piles , trails good and does some crawling too .
