Hi guys, did this over a year ago, wasn't on these forums yet, posted it on Facebook local club then, hope you aren't bored of this model.
Right from the start I added the pro scale light kit, and steel rc4wd rims that matched the plastic traxxas, and original gm wheels
Started to come together without any problems, when I got to the front axles I noticed where the axle shafts go in the housing there was no seal and if water got in it could stay in the housing tub cause the knuckle carrier reduces slightly. First I just filled it with boat flex shaft grease, but then I went to the junk/treasure drawers and found automotive connectors that had round rubber seals that crimp on the terminals and pull into the plastic of the connector to seal it, they fit perfectly.
Got the light kit in its place and the supplied electric equipment.
Swapped out the black steel screws for a yeah racing set of stainless screws, put each size bag into an old decided case kit to cut down on Search time
After it was all together with rc4wd wrangler duratac tires all I could do was look at it and take pictures. Even set up a trailer I had that never got hooked up to anything yet
Of course staying inside was no good for me and not to long after joined a crawler club and we did some snow crawling, that was fun! But the scale look of the duratrac tires didn't have good grip in deep powder so after careful and extensive research and test I ended up with many sets of tires here's some pitbull rock beast xor 2.2 with 120mm shocks
