In January 2024 I attended Scale Challenge West #6 in Folsom Lake, it's first trail run without a trailer. Won the best scale photo and got sent it in a cool frame. I do want to reprint the photo in non-FB quality because it is horrid lol.

This is the dirtiest this rig has ever been, slowly getting some scale damage over these runs it's been on.

I'll repair the rear bumper, reinforcing it with another layer of lexan. The body will have a bit of character once I clean it. Also, even though I will keep the hitch receiver installed, it is retired from being a tow rig thanks to my Tundra Stepside.

SSD portal delete + front brass. Tires now tuck under articulation! I've got 8mm hexes on it and I want to switch back to stock 5mm to avoid rubbing in the front.

- Swap in 1400kv Spektrum Firma 2n1
- Kapti Machine Co. 2wd transfer case install (next post will practically be a write-up of my install)
