Thank you. I am still planning to make few minor updates to the truck like adding inner fenders for the front and maybe paint the front bumper to black. The fun part of the hobby for me is personalizing the truck.

I uploaded couple of running videos on youtube: 1st - trail run - https://youtu.be/Kj_Gn3-H5Ig Starting at 1:06, I inserted a rock crawling section. To the right side of the rock, there was 20 foot drop, so I was being a bit careful though. 2nd - creek trail run - https://youtu.be/6ksZkb5-bS4 I thin...

Finally got the parts that I needed to fix up my P407. While replacing the broken axle and knuckle, I decided to replace all the bearings with Fast Eddy bearings. For the most part, the bearings were (thankfully) still in good shape. Also made some additional modifications: 1) removed the cab and ad...

Can you give a little more info on the inner fender wells? Looks very nice.

Any thoughts on how to add some weight bias to the front? I would love to relocate the battery to the front like this, and maybe add some weights to the wheel area.

Finally got registered :) Look forward to sharing ideas. Here's mine prior to few ongoing modifications (bought full bearing kit, but it was missing 3 bearings, so I am waiting on replacements to complete the bearing swap). As pictured, I have front servo mod, changed out to Austar (Hyrax clone) tir...
