Long overdue update time. Last week I went over to my "Local" rc track to test out this rigs performance and durability. I'm sure with appropriate tires for the track, hard packed clay, I might have been able to almost keep up with the 1/8 Losi's and Tekno's that were also running the track but since my tires have no grip I had to take corners way slower than them and skid out way too often even with me trying my best to control my trigger finger. I was able to make the 10-15ft jump in the middle with ease with a battery even after 15-20mins of driving and it flew super strait in the air, almost no need for inputs while jumping. After the abuse of over 4 hours and my horrible crashes, I only broke one thing I skid out right in front of a ET48.3 and got T-boned hard on the rear wheel breaking my rear camber link, but the link was from a ruster steering assembly so it was not nearly strong enough for the task, so I am very happy with durability.

I also picked up a body and the old traxxas fiberglass front shock tower, I was debating getting a TLR 22 body, but went with a ET410 body, the tapir is slightly too small, but it is an easy fix and I will make some velcro tabs to keep the body on better. For the shock tower I instantly noticed that it was more responsive to steering inputs without the RPM tower bending all over the place.

Last update, before I cut out the body, I made a plaster casting so I can make a vacuum form to make the body again with mods that I will do to it by moving the shock tower clearance bulges, changing the chassis tapir, and removing the small velcro tab spots for the ET-EB410 because I will use a different placement.
Here's a link to all the updated pictures of the body, casting, and new shock tower.
