Me too. Making use of what time I have available as I'm away next week.

More progress.
Rear end pretty much done minus the shocks and titanium screws which haven't arrived yet.

New rear arms, T-works Ti turnbuckles and new ends, T-works Ti droop screws, new mudguards.

Those are similar mud guards to the Mugen ones I use on my XT8...

You should just give up on this, it's taking too long.

I'm going to have 2 setups. For bashing I'll use Badlands as I already own 2 sets, but for the track, I haven't really looked yet. (But when I say track, I not racing. Just for fun) I'm open to suggestions. It'll be loose, low grip surface.

I was wondering who was going to mention that first!

You set yourself up for that.

My projects age like a fine whiskey.
Let's run with that

same running conditions I assume?
since you live in australia, louise tires might be prevalent there, try looking at their 8th scale buggy tire offerings. I remember there's a certain model in that lineup with a tread pattern that resmbles the badlands but I don't remember the exact name. Only downside is they tend to balloon so look for the belted version if you can.
