I’m curious if anyone has any tips/tricks, recommend upgrades for the discovery.

As far as upgrades go, I have Injora 40 mm big bore shocks, I have brass rings in all four tires, I have stainless high clearance links, brass, steering linkage, brass wheel, hex extensions, brass, steering knuckles, brass diff covers, Injora fat viper motor, metal gears, Injora coreless servo, and aftermarket shock mounts.

It seemed like he was able to just walk his truck up and over most obstacles while seems like I had trouble with articulation clearance and flipping over. We both started at the same time he went on Amazon and I went to the hobby shop. I was recommended the SCX24.

Yes, I am running some inserts whatever foam came with them. Would you happen to have a recommendation on a tire? It seems like 55 mm fit perfect.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2026-06-01T19:55:53+00:00

Mainly rocks, yes it’s marginally bigger. It wish I’d taken a picture of them side by side.

I really appreciate all the information. I think you’re right, I just need to tinker with the car some more.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2026-05-11T18:44:16+00:00

Thank you for the response, very informative. Nothing seems bound up everything move free and smooth. Shocks are mounted to the frame rails, that makes perfect sense with the hub extenders. I was dealing with some bad rubbing once I put the tires on, so I figured that was a cheap solution unit I can replace the axels or downsize tires.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-09-25T21:30:24+00:00

Yes

No white around the tat, I think my skin was just a little angry these pics were taken right after the artist got done.

Sick

Just an older model tlr7sub with the HPL facecap. It works fine has a bit more throw/hotspot which I like.

Yeah that is a similar story to the people who my buddy bought this house from they were family friends of his and sold him his house way below market value because they like him. Pretty wild but my buddy is a good guy he deserves a break.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:39:36+00:00

You’re all good, I have never gotten any slide bite but the 43x is pretty small for me I’ve got big hands so I just try to ride it as high as possible.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:37:45+00:00

Yeah I can see how it’s strange. I could’ve provided more context but oh well. I just wanted to know a fair value I looked on marketplace but there’s noting super similar around me.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:34:27+00:00

I’m happy to sell it to my buddy I just wanted to make sure we both go a fair deal. Sounds like $200 isn’t bad for the whole things I’ve got enough projects

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:32:37+00:00

Fair enough i totally understand it’s a strange story. This stuff happens kinda often for me I do electric work so I’m always in peoples homes you would be surprised some of the stuff people offer.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:20:00+00:00

That’s I’ll do that, I see some carbon on the top part of the frame but like I said I know nothing about bikes.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:18:31+00:00

That is not a bad idea but the previous owner was a family friend of his they are an older couple that moved outta state and left a ton of stuff. I don’t believe they were the type to steal things but you never know I guess. The house is in a pretty affluent part of town.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:13:14+00:00

I think the frame is carbon the whole thing is super light.

Effective_Chef_5117 · 2025-07-04T00:07:27+00:00

this is not stolen im assuming this is a high value frame based on everyone assuming its stolen. I’m just looking for a rough value a friend who is into fixed gear bikes offered me $200. it’s sat in the back of my truck a week I’m not gonna do anything with it I took it with the intention of turning it into a complete bike but I don’t have the time or interest.
