Always loved that Deadbolt. Awesome build.

A green deadbolt is what I started with. Nice truck.

Update:

Fitted a magnetic body mount to eliminate the clips.

And Injora Flex blades which fit to the top of the shocks. I already had fitted Mofo RC flex blades to the bottom of the shocks. As you can imagine, wheel articulation is abundant.

The Deadbolt is lookin' good.

I haven't tried the flex blades yet, but I have had them in my cart a few times, just haven't pulled the trigger. Might be time to put them in my cart again.

They take a bit of fine tuning to get them operating smoothly. If the screws are tightened, it binds up.
The cnc blades and CF chassis mounts are well made but the screws are shite quality as usual.

I may remove the fronts yet, as there is now too much travel in the front. Unloads when going up obstacles.

Nice!!!! Same for me on the flex blades, going back in the cart.

Wish I could take that title but they are off the shelf parts.

Yes, but you installed each part and had to make sure of their functionality and of course not all new parts work as advertised.
