I ordered some LST shocks and the body will arrive soon but i like the looks of it allready!

all electronics are standard, only the servo is upgraded.
the beast runs on: 44/18 gearing, 6cell 5000mah 40c lipo's and i drink coffee and beer lol :)

hex mod:

I also did this mod to the wheel hexes and rims, hope this will prevent most chances to stripping but never say never of course...

I bought some steel wiring in the same diameter as the pins and just cut them off in the size i wanted.
Then i had to dremel a little bit in the rims, they're axial rims and you can see the little recesses in the rim. Those recesses i just dremeled them enough so the pin drops in with allmost no movement possible.

This is how it looks








think this will hold up but time will tell for sure.
