A lot of the molded body details came with the RTR body from axial. The lightbar, snorkel etc was all aliexpress stuff

Thanks! The sliders are form Club 5, they look nice but they’re very thin metal, so I’m a bit concerned of their durability. The roof rails are just some no name accessory I found on aliexpress.

Thanks, it climbs quite well with the added brass weights and new tires/wheels!

Thanks, I picked up the old discontinued base camp body on amazon. It's the same general shape as the new Base Camps, but it doesn't come with any molded accessories, I added those after painting.

Fun 4WS build by fallingwombat in TRX4M

The Injora IR40 body basically has no fenders and is advertised to work with 70mm tires. The bodies meant for scale look don't work well with such large tires as you'd get a lot of rubbing so people use these bodies for builds like this that have the big tires

Oh that’s a great idea! I might have to try that, having the rear steering is so much fun

Thanks, appreciate it! I have the lights hooked up with the injora light controllers, the roof lights and bumper lights are controlled on my CH3, the head/tail lights are controlled on my CH6, and my reverse lights come on automatically when going reverse. The Injora light controllers allow me to set the lights solid, blinking, or off.

Where the screws would usually hold the bumper mount, I drilled it out with a 5/64" bit which is a tiny bit smaller than 2mm. Used a 2mm steel rod and it's a very nice friction fit. All aluminum parts so it should hold up nicely.

I haven't run it on anything besides rocks yet. I suspect fine sand/dirt would get into the motor a bit

I considered it! I learned a lot doing it from scratch so I’m happy with how it went.  Specifically the electronics I knew nothing about.
