I don’t care for a lot of “bling”, but your car is very tastefully put together. Well done

I was never an all out blinged up kinda guy myself. I like it as is. Colors are not my favorite but IMHO you have just enough to stand out but not be gawdy. You addressed mostly what modern cars have addressed with the alloy and turnbuckles. Looks good and now have me looking at my lineup to wish I had done some more alloy buying :oops:

I agree with the two above, I was never a big bling guy but I really like what you have there! Give us a run down of what you have on there for the motor/center shaft mount and the hubs and wheel adapters if you don't mind.

Thanks!

All the blue trinkets are from Team Suzuki which include the motor mount...I think. The red wheel nuts are from Team CSO.

I also have a purple motor mount that I believe is a Trinity upgrade part.

The upgrade that made the most difference were:

-Adding the camber plate to get the lowest camber gain setting and raise the roll center...seems to improve rear grip.

-Replacing the terrible Yokomo links with newer and significantly stronger Traxxas HD links and balls.

-Adding bearing tensioners to the rear belt...no skipping...no breaking.

-Wheel hubs...much easier to swap wheels vs the hubs that use screws.

I love this car...it's a beast with a 10.5T motor and a 2s LiPo.

That looks very nice to me. I like aluminum-nums when they're color-coordinated to the body and the color scheme is consistent, not just an assortment of random colors. You've done a tasteful job here.

Very nicely done! I love that you still run it with modern electronics, that's what I'd like to do to one of my '94 YZ-10's. The other ones I would like to run but with period electronics. I'm definitely going to incorporate that rear belt bearing tensioner, that is a great idea.

Thanks for sharing!
