I vote to leave it off, think it would detract from the overall look.

Just needs a splash of pink, blue and green on it. Jmo of course.
Think that would tie it in better.

The green on the wheels don't look right ,they would look better if the bead lock rings were blue to go with
the other blue parts!
But other than that ,it looks awesome!......
Haha I do agree. I bought them for the green obr cage that was on it, but that was swapped. I do have some redo arrows in blue and black so maybe I'll do some swapping

I think the green looks good on it. It goes good with the green in "ruckus"

So who wants to take votes on what's breaking first lol.
I do have a IRC diff and IRC drivetrain, with a TR quickdiff, and a titanium $35 layshaft standby.
Current setup:
Stock plastic trans case
Hpi alloy diff
FLM super duty dogbones
Hpi 5sc diff cups
Hpi trans gears

Honestly I think it will be fine. Guy on YouTube (named rsg tuned) was running stock rovan drivetrain on his 40gt for a while and no issues as far as I know. So I think it will be fine especially with all the upgrades that are already in it ?

Only upgrades are the super duty flm shafts. But you are probably correct. If I am guessing though it will be the factory plastic trans case.

Are the losi shocks better than irc big bores?

They both have their ups and downs. Losi shocks are very smooth feeling, and setup right will appease 90% of setups. I love irc shocks mainly for their strength and their springs are built to hold some weight.

I'd vote plastic case as well, of the shortcoming of the baja platform the guts of the trans wasnt really the limiting factor from what I've ever seen. I would expect the flm shafts to hold up rather well tbh.
