New to this forum and RC's in general. First buy was a RS10xt for someone else... then I found a Deadbolt cheap at the LHS... I have now caught the mod addiction and work on it 10x the time I actually run it "thumbsup"
So Far I have done the basics, flipped shock mounts, moved battery up front, changed some mounting points for personal preference, 60T motor, etc.
When the snow started flying here in Ohio the snow chains were a must :mrgreen:
I have had a few repairs Ran it into the steps in the basement day one (it was way faster than I expected stock) and broke a shock and servo horn, so I am running aluminum Venom's with 30wt oil, new servo horn is on the way.
New servo is on the way with the new horn even though the stock one is still okay.
Next up is to get some weights on the axles just not sure how to go about it yet. Thinking about making a servo mount / axle support block from brass for a trick look (dad is a machinist so he would actually make it I would be there for moral support :twisted. Maybe use the existing block as a mount for some plates if that is too tricky.
Then I want to upgrade the steering arms (just for looks it steers good enough for me). New c-hubs and knuckles as I suspect the weight may kill them.
Then it's time for cosmetics: Led lighting, Ford truck body, scale accessory packs, winch, and so many more when the wallet has some padding!!
Any suggestions are welcome though, I need all the help I can get and this forum has already helped SO much!!
