Amazing what a weight difference those links make! Truck has some heft to it now.

I went with the stainless set of links because the stock ones would probably do ok for a while at stock weight but with adding unsprung weight I didn't want to risk it. The front got the Injora brass portal housings, the Meus brass diff covers, and the Injora brass servo mount. I actually was only going to do the front diff covers originally and only buy one set but I liked the look.

Trying to keep these pretty light overall. Although I do see doing a diecast body 1/18 at some point.

EDIT. 23 grams total for all the links. The stock set weighs 9 grams and the Injora Stainless set weighs 32g.

I showed my wife this picture and she went from "stock wheels are fine" to "I want those" pretty quickly haha

As you said. Sharpie works great. She did hers with pink paint pen that we got in the art section of hobby lobby.

Injora steering and suspension links installed on the Scout as well as the Injora front portal housings and the Meus diff covers. Diff cover and rear stainless links are about 20 grams heavier than the originals.

Hoping for a little break in the weather tomorrow so we can get these outside.
