    I fell asleep on the couch so here I am, super early. It was a huge difference after the mods. Only 2 things I would consider changing for your course. Front bumper and spare tire delete. I would say that everything else is must have for performance. I sure do like the new electronics, way smoother now

    • @UpperLeftRC
      @UpperLeftRC  2 роки тому

      Yeah the front bumper delete has me torn, I like the way it looks with it on but I like the way it preforms with it off. The rear tire is staying on though, the rack is part of the hinge body mount so if I want to remove it I will need to cut it off and then I’m committed to having it removed permanently, plus it leaves a huge hole in the back. :/

    • @DoubleADay

      Hopefully someone comes up with something to fill the hole. Do I need to get a Bronco scx24?

Treal wheels and wheel weights, steer cups, axle housings and diff covers, skid plate, high clearance links from the gladiator, steer links, rock sliders, full transmission, front overdrive worm gear… also Injora 43mm shocks and an Injora .050 50t pro… topped off with a custom fit all metal Savox sh-0254… running the Little Guy Racing M/T trail kings for tires… this a heavy car and it’s all below the frame for insane balance and traction. The over sized motor provides more than enough Torque and speed to move this car as well…

    I just got the bronco too; same color and I put the same stickers as well as removed the axial logo. So far I’ve only installed brass diff covers and brass wheel hexes that add 1mm in width. Just with those upgrades and removal of the back tire makes a big difference in performance.
