End-of-year update:
Not much has changed, as it's pretty much dialed-in.
Added:
- Furitek Lizard Ultimate ESC (a failed update bricked the old Lizard Pro).
Mods:
- Cosmetic paint job to make it look like a rusted out beater.
What's next?:
- contemplating a 4WS project.
That is all.

- Brass boulder bars
- Injora Gladiator stainless steel...

So, here is my current project buggy: an SCX24 Deadbolt I've been tooling around with since November.
Parts & upgrades so far:
- Brass front diff cover
- 050 motor
- aluminum motor mount
- Emax servo
- Injora servo tray
- Coda steering links
