A lot has changed on my project since I first spoke about it.
It now has fresh street tires, new wheels, low CG chassis, esc mount, rear bumper and couple of stickers.
The low CG chassis made a world of difference in handling. Hard to believe one inch lower can change how a car handles. I was on stock tires when I tested it.
Even better handling on all four new street tires. JConcepts G-locs
I painted the rims silver with a copper beadlock. Tire glue kinda melted the silver paint into the glue. First time gluing tires.
The shocks sit good, I still need to limit the front shocks, but the wheel travel doesnt change much on concrete.
Nothing protected the rear of the car, so I put a RPM Slash 2wd rear bumper.
I have a variety pack of spur gears coming in so I can fine tune how fast I want the car to go.

I used to play with these high-performance RC's. Taught me a lot about chassis tuning and wrenching, but DAMN is it expensive. Every week something would break and id have to scrounge up $ to fix it, or rig it to work somewhat decently. I had a 2wd Traxxas Slash and somewhere in my basement is my Losi desert truck with traxxas xl5 esc and an upgraded motor. Even now that I spend my $ on real car stuff the RC stuff is too expensive and fragile
