I know I have the other thread, but it's all cluttered and messy and starting fresh sounded better to me. Mods, if this is a problem just let me know.
First, new:

Fresh and clean..

In this picture you can see my bondo'd up tie rod from where it broke.. it's holding really well so far. Ran the crap out of it with it like that and no problems now.

For now, I've lowered it, cut off the wheel wells, and I sharpied the wheels black. I wasn't wanting to do that at first, but I've been running it hard and the wheels got pretty messed up so black was the best way to conceal that. :lol:
Will have the twin motor upgrade on the way, going to look into metal gears so I don't shred them with the new power it will have. Also have some on-road tires coming with the motors, hopefully I'll get some better grip on cement with those.. this thing has traction problems enough as is. :nod:
I'm digging this alot more though, more of a rugged, badass baja truck look.
Future plans so far, metal parts as they break/are needed. And, for some reason I really want to go brushless once I get good at driving it how it is now, not sure if I really will but it sure does look like a ton of fun if it can be controlled.
