These are the changes I made since I purchased O'beast build.


7075 adapters


Imex J-7 baja wheels


Phat Cat shock towers


8000 spring clutch


Flowsystem polished stainless exhaust


redcat xt gearing


xt body mounts


my desert rat xbe body (it is not being used right now)


Things not installed yet:


Aluminum top plate


aluminum rear support


killer rc limiting straps

Oops hit the button to soon, I am looking into upgrading steering, front and rear upper arms by DGI but not sure if it wise or not. It would take some slop out of suspension though

I think it looks better with the extra length and the desert rat body.
