Next Step: Installing Rollbar Summer Roof with armor outer fenders instead of heavy metal roof rack and hard top and transferring that weight down even more with boomracing Phat Axle Housings 250G each
I think I covered most parts of the project. Goal was making my real dream car toy copy, toy which will move like a real car, act like a real car, I dont like jumping plastic frogs flipping around after throttle punch, this monster moves like a tank, messes mud, climbs steep rocks (not steeper than real one could do) and pulling some summits and 1/8 Scales. I must say it was best fun in my life assembling something, building, fitting, cutting, dremeling, soldering, making custom PCBs, learning a lot of stuff and ofcourse wasting 1200$+ on 1 toy car, which gives me tonns of fun along with other hobbies, makes my weekends bright and cheerfull. Thats the purpose of the hobby and my new RC addiction Next project will be TRX4 Defender, i bet it wont need much tuning parts. But i love scale and real looks + weight weight weight.
Thank you guys for making this forum, I learned a lot and also ready to share experience
