Finally got a scx10 JKU and have had a blast with it for the last 2 weeks. I work on the road about 6-8 months of the year and stay in a camper most of that time. We found a RC track/hobby shop(439 raceway & hobby) that has full hookup campsites here in TX. It's close to where we are working and I've wheeled my JKU about ever day on their rock crawling course. I'm really impressed with the "out of the box" performance especially with a few tweaks.
I've done some freebie mods; moved the battery over the motor/radio box, moved the esc behind the Trans on the front of the original battery tray, and shortened the bump stops in the factory shocks, removed the rear tire carrier and relocated the spare tire to the rear tub of the Jeep, under the cage.
Here's a quick shot on the crawler course

After a few freebie mods.
After probably 12-15 batteries, running a venom lipo 2s 30c 5000mah, I finally broke my first part. I snapped the passenger side c hub.
As you can see, I did try and repair it with some super glue/baking soda and it held for about 5 - 10 mins of wheeling hard. Also, I made a work stand with some spare wood laying around.
So know it's time for some new knuckles, c hubs, and I'm probably gonna go ahead and do a cms kit and some type of upgraded steering links and suspension links. Let's the addiction begin. Lol..
