Here are the current up to date pictures. I went with the true tracks because i wanted something more indestructable and i had problems with the rear turnbuckles snapping off, therefore changing my toe in during a race which made it hard to drive straight. I also swapped out the titanium pins for the jd carbon pins and i am very pleased with that decision. Also you see that i switched to rpm hubs beucase the machining on the integy ones are not up to par, and i broke 2 stock hubs during testing. I also learned how bad the mip cvds are i snapped one at the ball joint during testing so i just switched to sliders which are giving me no problems. The tires where also taped and balanced and the car was lowered and equiped with rpm skid plates. After all this was done i did lose a bit of bling but i recieved the best of both worlds between performance and durability. After all of this i raced at my local shop and swepted a few crts, and revos but 3 or 4 laps and never reached half throttle. This vehichle is amazing and these small simple changes that where less expensive really paid off. O and lastly, i must say that the biggest difference in my cars handling by far was made by taping the tires. It went from handling like a lowered emaxx to a ripping truggy. i highly recommend taping the tires it makes a huge difference. Alright enough of the rambling here are the last of the pictures. P.S. MMMV2 still running strong.(49/17 gearing running 1515 1y on 4s lipo true rc 6400 15c packs. Temps motor after 30min highest 160 but stayed between 125-145 and esc fan only came on once at the end of the run estimated runtime about 27-35min)
