I also have my Gmade R1 with Wraith axles, flipped transmission, and totally relocated suspension links.

Don't have, but had in the past...

Extended micro-t so I could fit a 4xAAA NiMH pack on it:

The plate I made to stretch the rear:

Angle brace on the top side to keep it from bending:

I didn't care much in previous years about running full bodies. My primary concern was protecting my engines on roof landings. So I tended to make roll bars out of 5/16" steel rod that was bent using a torch and vice, since I lack proper stuff to weld.

Made my bb revo a bit mad max'ish:

On my t-maxx's back in the day, I just used bumpers as wear bars and on the top of the rear body post after the body got it's rear ripped off, which was usually 10 minutes into the first bash session with a new body, then I'd run half bodies for a couple years at a time.
