I went though a cycle of upgrading parts. Started running 6s batteries which lead to breaking axles, so I upgraded to aluminum ones. Then hubs started breaking, so I upgraded those to aluminum. Then I started stripping wheels so I went to 17mm hubs. Then I started breaking aluminum parts and exploding differentials, so I upgraded back to 3s batteries and started replacing the broken aluminum parts with rpm plastic ones. I came full circle...

I just wanted more weight for better stability when crawling. Even with the servo up front it won't stay planted on steep climbs

fill the tires with water
I thought about that...I don't know if there is a way to. The tires are glued to the rim to keep them in place. Maybe if I got the beadlock wheels

Flipped the shocks around...amazing how that little bit of weight rearranged makes it sit higher and not compress the springs nearly as much

In for video
I don’t think I have video of my buddy’s. This dude slapped a gps on his and got it going 135. Skip to about 3:15 and watch how quick that thing goes from out of sight back to out of sight again. He had to find a long straight stretch of rural highway just to clock it. It’s speed makes it literally the most useless rc car on the planet.
