In July of 2016, I bought the builder's kit, built it and drove it for a few years with some minor upgrades.

When I moved to new house in August of 2018, I stopped driving it and it sat on a shelf slowly collecting dust.

As of January 2023, I have upgraded it quite a bit and I do enjoy driving it once again.

 

Using Spektrum Smart Pro Series G2 LiPo batteries with a Spektrum S1200 G2 AC Smart Charger makes it so much easier, almost set it and forget it. And the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion Pro 2-in-1 ESC and sensored brushless motor is awesome. Using the Hobbywing Program Card makes setting the ESC a breeze, even in the field, because it uses the LiPo power!

 

2016 CUSTOM MODS

Of the 95% of the vehicle that was black, I painted it silver.

Only the fake air intakes and the axles remain the original kit black color.

2023 CUSTOM MODS

I have removed the Axial AX31323 receiver box and mount, AXA150 spare tire holder and AX31320 rear bumper and the AX31125 fuel cell box.

I replaced all of them with small aluminum tubes, which are bolted and Permatex Blue Threadlocked together with small diameter steel rods for additional structural support and to eliminate any twisting or flexing. The added rear weight is balanced by a steel ScalerFab bumper in front. The COG (center of gravity) is still low by running steel side skids, an aluminum main skid plate, brass and aluminum wheel weights, stainless steel links and a lot of other metal parts installed down low.

 

I also custom fit a pair of Axial AX31317 AR60 lower link / shock axle mounts to use the shorter length Axial King shocks up front.

In July of 2016, I bought the builder's kit, built it and drove it for a few years with some minor upgrades.

When I moved to new house in August of 2018, I stopped driving it and it sat on a shelf slowly collecting dust.

As of January 2023, I have upgraded it quite a bit and I do enjoy driving it once again.

 

Using Spektrum Smart Pro Series G2 LiPo batteries with a Spektrum S1200 G2 AC Smart Charger makes it so much easier, almost set it and forget it. And the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion Pro 2-in-1 ESC and sensored brushless motor is awesome. Using the Hobbywing Program Card makes setting the ESC a breeze, even in the field, because it uses the LiPo power!

 

2016 CUSTOM MODS

Of the 95% of the vehicle that was black, I painted it silver.

Only the fake air intakes and the axles remain the original kit black color.

______________________________________________

2023 CUSTOM MODS

I have removed the Axial AX31323 receiver box and mount, AXA150 spare tire holder and AX31320 rear bumper and the AX31125 fuel cell box.

I replaced all of them with small aluminum tubes, which are bolted and Permatex Blue Threadlocked together with small diameter steel rods for additional structural support and to eliminate any twisting or flexing. The added rear weight is balanced by a steel ScalerFab bumper in front. The COG (center of gravity) is still low by running steel side skids, an aluminum main skid plate, brass and aluminum wheel weights, stainless steel links and a lot of other metal parts installed down low.

 

I also custom fit a pair of Axial AX31317 AR60 lower link / shock axle mounts to use the shorter length Axial King shocks up front.

2023 CUSTOM MODS

I have removed the Axial AX31323 receiver box and mount, AXA150 spare tire holder and AX31320 rear bumper and the AX31125 fuel cell box.

I replaced all of them with small aluminum tubes, which are bolted and Permatex Blue Threadlocked together with small diameter steel rods for additional structural support and to eliminate any twisting or flexing. The added rear weight is balanced by a steel ScalerFab bumper in front. The COG (center of gravity) is still low by running steel side skids, an aluminum main skid plate, brass and aluminum wheel weights, stainless steel links and a lot of other metal parts installed down low.

 

I also custom fit a pair of Axial AX31317 AR60 lower link / shock axle mounts to use the shorter length Axial King shocks up front.

In July of 2016, I bought the builder's kit, built it and drove it for a few years with some minor upgrades.

When I moved to new house in August of 2018, I stopped driving it and it sat on a shelf slowly collecting dust.

As of January 2023, I have upgraded it quite a bit and I do enjoy driving it once again.

 

Using Spektrum Smart Pro Series G2 LiPo batteries with a Spektrum S1200 G2 AC Smart Charger makes it so much easier, almost set it and forget it. And the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion Pro 2-in-1 ESC and sensored brushless motor is awesome. Using the Hobbywing Program Card makes setting the ESC a breeze, even in the field, because it uses the LiPo power!

 

2016 CUSTOM MODS

Of the 95% of the vehicle that was black, I painted it silver.

Only the fake air intakes and the axles remain the original kit black color.
