So, more updates- photo updates too:
So, trimmed the axle guard mounts to get more steering throw, trimmed the knuckles to get more throw, and finished the battery tray- didnt have to do any sewing in the end, just doubled over the ends to prevent them from ripping so easily ( like GorillaMaxx ones do quite often ) and bolted them in place. Tray is lined with craft foam, basically mouse mat foam about 3mm thick, glued in place- gives a nice snug fit for the 5s lipo brick I will be using for power.
Battery tray is mounted on the truck now, though I may go back and trim it a little either end ( chamfer the edges to 45* ). After that I need to tweak the center skid to fit the esc in underneath the tranny, and solder the connectors onto the esc.
Next month I will be buying the radio gear and that will pretty much conclude the project, save for a few tweaks & painting the shell.
