I now have thumb steers on both my radiolinks, and I have an older go pro on a tripod. Yesterday I recorded a bunch of good footage only to get home to see the card was somehow missing all of it.

I hate when that happens! Done it myself a few times.
 
Hey it’s been a minute since I’ve updated this. I recently added a direct power servo and did some magnetic body mounts up front.
I haven’t tested this truck yet since the new additions.

Were the magnetic body mounts something you put together, or something you picked up?

Club 5 racing. But only the fronts work, I couldn’t get the sendero rear mounts to work because the hd has a different bed for one, but also it made the body sit way too high.
 
Where you have those front fender wells I’m curious if the magnetic body mounts work together with those, I’d really like to get some of those.

I may have to look at that.
 
I just got a Gatekeeper. Looking for some lights to run at night, now that the sun is gone at 5:00pm.

I ordered a light kit from mytrickrc. Super nice stuff, thanks for the link.

No problem, the mytrick stuff is always good. I have zero complaints, I once had one of those led strip type lights rub on a body and get cut and they sent me a new set no questions asked, all they needed was a picture. It was really my fault because the hole was too small/ didn’t have any kind of protection.
 
Spot the creature in the last picture!
I took the HD out for a test run after installing a direct power servo, moving the rear shock upper mounts to the frame, and cutting a little more tread out of the tires.
That servo makes a huge difference, it used to struggle through certain obstacles because the stock servo was too weak to keep the wheels on a hard right or left, and it would lose the line. The esc ran much cooler Since it wasn’t powering the servo.
The tires having just a few more treads removed seem to actually grip better.
My magnetic mounts from club5 took many tumbles and pretty much stayed on. I did notice that the body does get pushed around if a stick or rock is pushing up on the body while trying to traverse the terrain.
The rear shocks being layed way down might be slightly too soft so I’m going to get some springs and do some further testing, but all in all, today the HD conquered some climbs it couldn’t do before, and was faster at the challenges it had already conquered.
I’m wondering is this truck a Chevy/gmc, or possibly a dodge?

Invasion of the giant insects!!! Body kinda resembles the first gen Ford Ranger. Could be any South American or Asian mini pickup.

There’s a crawfish in there! So it isn’t a full size pickup? I kinda think it looks like an 80’s Chevy/gmc. There’s one parked over by our shop and it’s nearly identical.
 
I moved the rear shock tower location forward 2 holes so the shock can lay forward a little more. It’s like those holes are there for a reason. Body holes for the bed will have to be added.

I also snipped some more of the tire lugs to open up the tread

You can’t move them that far forward. The post is too close to the corner of the body. I would have to cut out a chunk and I’m not doing that.

Element probably marked your new body post hole for you

I may not give this a run today, but for sure will tomorrow. Looking at the truck, I feel like the frame sits too high. Maybe I need softer springs. Only testing will tell.
More mods to come.
