OK so some updates on the Scorpion....
Added waterproof Traxxas servos to the front and rear steering setup, need some modifications to get them to sit flat but only cost 9 bucks a servo and they are waterproof (or at least splashproof
) so they are a nice upgrade.
Also added insanely big 2.2 RC4WD Rock Stompers, got 6 of them plus 4 pre-star cut foams for 30 bucks, they are a little thinner than the stock Axial Rock Lizards but seem a better compound and much grippier...
Then finally I switched to super-soft (red) springs which lowered my COG and hopefully stabilizes me a little...
Have some high clearance alloy steering knuckles coming for both the front and rear setup but they haven't arrived and given the holiday probably won't until Saturday.
The body was ready for paint but had to have some chopping done to accommodate the tires so still work to be done on that.
