Thought I'd share with the group my H10 Optic kit, I really lucked out and got my #1 livery choice.
The kit went together with ease although there are a few areas where instructions show the wrong hardware but not hard to figure out what should be used. Only issue I had was when all put together with the wheels mounted it wouldn't roll without using extreme force, felt like I had a 55t brushed motor in there when there is no motor mounted at all. The Issue was the mounting screws holding the spur gear to the slipper eliminator were jammed against the spur gear cover causing the drivetrain to bind. This was my fault as I decided to use cap head screws vs the stock button head screws and once I swapped out the screws problem was solved.
Rather than showing kit build step by step/progress I wanted to show the finish product, what I did different and this will be a place to show upgrades as I go. Things I did different was use a gray cage, vanquish Jeep looking grill and I used the black power tank from the kit.
Upgrades so far are Reefs 777 servo, Vanquish method 105 wheels, Proline Aztek tires with Vanquish dual stage foam inserts.
I still need a motor esc combo but thats on hold probably until January.
Planned upgrades; driveshafts, knuckles, titanium links set, motor esc combo and maybe ax2 transmission. Theres probably more that will happen but those are the main items
A few pics, hope y'all enjoy it.
