Hey guys, off the top of your head, does anybody know what size the nut driver is for the 1/24 wheel nut?
 
Thanks my man, I'm not home right now or I would have just looked. I want to pick up a set on the way home.

I never should have read this thread, now I'm thinking I need to build one of these little guys. Amazing looking trucks Grenfellorama and Bada$$c10!

Yes very addicting lol I started with just the one build and now have one complete 2 more in the build process, then my kids decided they want one as well so now 6 out of my 7 kids have one and now building one for my wife!!
 
I've only modded my Deadbolt and the wife don't want me touching her C-10.
So far, I have RC4WD Mud Slingers "definitely belong on the Deadbolt, HR Long travel shocks, brass wheel weights, upgraded servo but honestly, I don't remember which one it is, and a set of amazon wheels. These little trucks are so fun.
I'm still going to add some brass diff covers and the brushless system whenever its back in stock. I jump back and forth on modding this one and building a E-revo.

Today I swapped the positions for the esc and battery. Moved the battery to the front, as low as I could get it. Zip tied it in place. Had to make an extension for it to reach the esc from it's new location.

The esc was moved to the rear of the chassis but as far forward as I could get it. The motor wires won't let me tuck it in any tighter. Still able to access the on/off switch easily. Also needed an extension wire for the servo connector to reach the esc. The esc was also zip tied in place.

Other than aquiring/soldering extensions this was a super easy mod.

I've thought about doing this for awhile, but wondered what the difference in weight actually is. Another thing I've thought about, that might make it not worth it is: if the battery is heavier, and is sitting higher up front, would it adversely raise the center of gravity.
 
@Xraycer The battery is actually lower in this position. As for the difference in weight, probably not a heck of a lot, but on rigs this small, I think a little goes a long way.

I am also going to move the shocks back to thier original position from when I moved them to the frame. (Still keeping them inverted) This weekend when I tested them out, it did make the cg a bit too high like you suspected. I think right now I'm just having fun experimenting with what works and what doesn't.

Oh, my bad! I somehow missed that first pic. I thought you just had the battery on the ESC tray.

@24th scale garage Looks good but the center of gravity appears to be pretty high. going to have to be careful with rollovers.

I think he's in it more for the look. I tried the double barrel shock designs and it just didn't work for me at all.
 
The flex is maxed out the control arms touch the buggy. Those are 48.5 mm shocks and 69mm control arms front and back
