Ehh, about that update...

Here's what has changed over the past 5 months:
-CVDs in front after breaking tons of stock driveshafts
-Maxximizer WK diff lockers
-3s 2100mah 15C Lipo in the rear, mounted on a custom polycarbonate shelf
-custom 10cell 1100mah NiMh battery mounted to the front axle
-Hitec 5955TG servo (after stripping the metal gears in the Tower Pro servo)
-new lower links and steering link, made out of carbon fiber tube covered by thin-wall aluminum tube on the outside (to keep the carbon fiber from splintering)
-aluminum front knuckles, added because of too many broken stock knuckles (from the torque of the 5955TG)
-RC4WD aluminum rear-lockouts, added to help stabilize rear and eliminate knuckle break-age
-motor shaft was turned down to 1/8" from 5mm
-32p gears, 6/66 current gearing (despite the numbers, works very well)
-2.5oz. added to each wheel, 10oz added total
-droop suspension with internal springs, shocks mounted on custom lower link mounts
-custom bent plastic skid plate, removable in the blink of an eye, yet stays on very well to protect spur and lower link rod ends
-Mamba 25 ESC
-Chinese 3amp switching BEC (has cool blue and red LEDs that are bright at night)
-HPI 1973 Bronco body that's been beaten to hell (I've mastered somersaulting with this truck)
