everclear1984 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Here's my kit build. Upgrades so far include 4 link front suspension kit with servo on axle, winch, light bar, aluminium beadlocks with Super Swamper knockoffs, dual stroke shock springs and the biggest "performance" upgrade of them all....

Stormbringer Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Did you go back to the original bumper for fitting the winch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 👍 Good fitting bumpers are hard to find because of the shape of the body. I trimmed the winch bumper to make it fit, but with the winch fitted it stuck out way too far and just looked silly. Apparently the RC4WD Marlin bumper is a good fit, bloody expensive though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 well i think your winch looks great on that bumper and if mine ends up looking like that i will be extremely happy 🍻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Spent way too long on this tonight and now that it's done, I'm really not happy with it. Turns out I can't cut a straight line for $#@t! What do you guys think to the decals, yes or no? Maybe I'll just remove some of the ones I'm not happy with and keep the others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badcrumble Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Straight lines are over-rated @Stormbringer. Not much in this life is straightforward and you won’t notice when it is muddy! But it might bother you when it is on the shelf! I like it, suits the utilitarian nature of the body. Keep ‘em for now, fix it at your leisure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 it is quicker in high gear maybe 25-40% more hard to say as only ran in garden and im running mine on 2s 🍻 fitted winch with controller , wp gear change servo and shackles took ages lol 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derka Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm just curious that's all. Single speed is fine for crawling but nice having an extra boost of speed if needed. Just wish it has remote locking diffs. The Sherpa does but that's portals and I'm just not sure I want another portal rig. These is a bargain at 250 at MS.

I plan to pick up a second one at some point, it's rugged and cheap enough that I won't worry about the kids driving it. I run mine on 3s and have never felt the need for the gear change, it was definitely more useful on 2s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
