Nope! This storm was the last draw for me, I'm ordering a snow thrower. In my 20s I didn't mind shoveling, but now in my 30s I despise it, I'm sore all day after shoveling my huge driveway hahaha

JC3 - I've done the front DCV conversion and I absolutely love it. Turns are smother and I can finally run the steering lock to lock without massive chattering with the front spool. I highly recommend it - that is if you're committed to the TC4 chassis. For mine I went with the tc7 steering block, not the shapeways one.

Expected cost would be...

ASC 31632 DCV kit: $38.99
ASC 31679 Steering Block: $6.99
5x10x4 bearings (x2): most hobby shops have them for about $1 each
5x10x3 bearings (x2): same as above
ASC 31370 Axle Crush Tubes: $3.99
ASC 31112 Dowel Pins: $3.49
ASC 31670 Wheel Hex: $14.49

This is for everything, with all the "proper" parts for a smooth/direct install. Again, it isn't cheap, but it sure is nice in the end!
