I've been doing a bunch of up dates and mods to my old neglected gold pan. It all started when the original motor gave up. Bought a few suspension pieces from DHawk racing, The rear aluminum control arms have adjustable toe, front aluminum control arms, 1 pc aluminum dullie wheels & extended axles. Various aluminum wheels & tire combinations. Rebuilt the shocks, replaced the rod ends, soft springs, removable aluminum spring cup so you can change the springs without removing the rod ends, and mounted the shocks inverted for easier access. Speed Passion 3500kv motor & esc, Replaced the trans internals, Robinson Racing spur & pinion gear. Still have a few more things to replace.

Those suspension arms look nice. Did you make them?

I want to see a pic with the duals installed! LOL that's awesome.

Yes, I made the arms, what a pain.

That looks awesome with the dual tires in the rear and very impressive work on the arms! Nice paint job on the body too and that is the first time I have seen the shocks inverted.

I bought the body on ebay, wish I could paint like that. Some front suspension mods.

I decided to go a little further with the cantilever shocks idea. Also mounted a Spectrum 5060 mini servo in front of the bulkhead for a little more nose weight.

Cool! How does it perform?

That is a wicked looking beast...would love a video of the suspension articulating to see the action

Nice job on transforming that over to inboard shocks. Looks great! I too would like to see it in action.

Finally got a body.

The body looks cool with the clear sections so you can see the shocks. Nice touch and I love it!

SWWWWEEEETTTTT!!! love the shock setup u have!!!!

How did I miss this thread?!

That looks like something from the Reader's Rides section of a 90's RCCA magazine...very well done!

That is too cool! I bet it's a blast to drive!
