Thats a very nice built man. Although i would have replaced the front and rear links with IRP and lose a bit of weight.

Good choice with the Roller. Ever thought of to sell the body as is and get a grafil Cobra body or losi Extreme. Much lighter and durable.

Also did you check the TLR Losi Tuning kit? Installed one 2 weeks ago. It would be a great add on, this is an ultimate built so id recommend defo keep an eye on it for later.

On a final note, ever considered to strip down the chassis for a 7075? Or team Hoonage/chase chassis? With that amount of engine power and phatdad stuff, the chassis might suffer a bit and might destroy the spur gears.

Sounds like fun, enjoy!!!
 
Well, I painted my MT's frame gloss black, with a few coats of clear. While I was at it, I changed the gas lines, and fixed a few other random things that needed to be checked and adjusted. It was starting to look pretty worn. I figured I'd spruce it up. :)
 
Just upgraded to alloy centre diff holders with good quality industrial grade high speed bearings,fitted brass fuel fittings with Tygon lines and new Snappy kit,changed gearing to 29/31 , fitted a kill switch and just waiting on new Futaba radio so I can pull the starter
 
The car is 100% 7075 now, thanks to Doug.

I added the 7075 gear plate (it was alum alloy redcat), front/rear tower shocks, steering servo saver and lay shaft mount.

Alum alloy vs 7075 shock towers

I also changed the shock oil to 30 wt all around. It was 40wt before and the car was giving the onroad feeling which I didn't like.

Changed the steering turnbuckle to IRP since the DGI one was heavy and touching the front diff housing while steering

The only upgrade missing on the car which is not 7075 is the front upper arms.

So I guess the car is race ready
