Additional Information

Challenges Faced
Getting the front axles pushed out enough to run regular 2wd buggy front wheels so they don't interfere with the hubs. (still in the process of fixing)
And getting a right servo horn to fit so the drag link isn't wonky - Need Official 22 5.0 aluminum servo horn, not the generic TLR 22 aluminum one meant for the 4.0. Otherwise it is DIALED for carpet racing. Tried it on clay but didn't like how slidey it was and 17.5 is not enough power to clear larger/bigger jumps.
