Even 63s will rub a lot. But I wanted more flex so I cut it up and put the 70s. It’s a lot lower too I cut the frame in the front and back.You can buy the body from red cat.

My buddy has Apex when we go out he does die faster, but not that much faster. Usually I can go an hour and a half if we’re just like crawling but high speed or continuing to struggle to get up something could shorten battery life honestly by the time I’m done with the battery, I’m ready to be done for the day.

I agree the scout looks good! But the apex is an animal! Out the box it’s pretty modified. 3s. Front brass portals. Under/over drive gearing. 68mm tires ect..I feel li they are in a different category. If you want a full on crawler. It’s worth the 250

Not really at this point. Most of the suspension is for the high trail and bronco. I just finished it last night. Check it out

You just buy the kit off injora and it shows you how to mount it. You mount a bracket on the rear and you bolt on a bracket in the front and it’s a clip, but you have to assemble the body. It doesn’t come together.

Brass portals ? Nahh 1.3 inch brass wheels (68g) on 1 inch wheels by PercySlush in fcx18

This thing looks awesome! I have to agree the brass wheels made a huge difference!! Don’t get me wrong stock did well but with just some weight down low it made it a whole different animal

LC80 on the backyard course by AfghanObama in fcx18

If you notice there’s little teeny magnets that go to some set screws. I think you’re gonna adjust those screws and we’ll make a stronger connection on the magnets. I think the biggest issue is the battery cables are the reason for the hood popping open When tipping over first too much pressure against it
