I wanna be Dave
Well, it didn't occupy me all weekend, but Friday night was cool.:lmao:
Got all the Samix brass installed on the rig last night. I came away thoroughly impressed with the quality and fitment of these parts. I did the full kit plus rotors/calipers up front. Rear portal covers plus rotors/calipers out back. I also did the Samix shock spring cups and the lower link mounts. I should have done a before and after weigh in, but there's no doubt the Samix brass adds weight, and in all the right places."thumbsup"
I also got the Traxxas Snorkel/Mirror kit added to the Sport body. This is about as far as I intend to take this body in terms of scale. I think it's just enough to have the truck look pretty good at a distance while running, but still pretty darn light for performance."thumbsup"
I do have the brass wheel hexes on the way, and aluminum motor plate, and a couple other small goodies, so she's still a work in progress. (Seems like the always are!!!:lmao
Anyway, hope everyone has a good weekend and has a chance to get out and crawl for a bit. Weather is supposed to be pretty dicey here again though, so we'll see.

I used a front mount in the rear
And a upside-down and backwards rear mount in the front
Had to do some trimming to get them where I wanted tho

Not really ,the whole wheel/tire combo is not that heavy considering that they are 5.5s on 2.2s plus the trx has absolutely no issues with it .

Ok - So, didn't do anything to my TRX, but with some of the severe weather we had move through, I lost 3 trees. 2 of these fell right across my trail that takes me to the back rock bridge creek crossings. Anyway, I spent my weekend with a chainsaw clearing my course. But, I did it so my TRX could crawl so............:lmao:

Dang Walsh that’s intense! Stay safe buddy.
Hit the rocks in the morning for a crawl. Some pics below and a clip here... https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSRRisAYMp
After crawling went to this free bash and race event that was a lot of fun. Took the rally out and won 2 races but lost the 3rd to an Xmaxx (not the one pictured). It was a race what you bring type of deal.
Couple pics here of some rad paint jobs from RC Bombshells, dude has some skills!

LoL! Looks like something I would do lmao! Hey it would be durable, depending on bearings would create little drag and could set how much wheelie you want by what size wheel you put on it. LMAO!!!:lmao:

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the kind words.

Just for fun.
Also picked up a sport camper body for cheap. I’ll wait until the defender is destroyed to mount it so I can go to a chassis mounted fender setup. It looks like I would have to hack up the sport body too much to mount the defender fenders on it.
