Top. Note the half moons ground out of the front alloy shock mount. Had to do this with a dremel to get full shock travel. Don't know what the deal is, this mount was bought as a set, same make as a purple mount I had but different machining.

Nope, won't go with delrin until I break the stock ones. The chassis swap is pretty basic until you get to the steering servo guts. I thought I'd never get it all back together. You need about 4 pair of hands in the 3cm range to align and get it all back in.
What's left of the stock parts? PCB, support arms, arm pivots, servo guts, motor and pinion, screws, top suspension arms, motor spacer, clips; I believe that's it. Everything else is option. BTW, the front skid plate is the chrome version. Saw no need for the alloy version.
Mondo, aka Mr. Avxlxn, you dog! I've been waiting for those wide five stars to show up and now I've lost out on both sets of the wides! That was you I presume?

i had the same problem with the servo guts i posted a thread about it to warn others. it took me much longer than it should have to get it back together. the overland is not something that you want to take apart regularly. there are just too many screws, c clips, pillow balls, etc.
i have the aluminum underguard as well!

I cannot tell a lie..
Sorry, but RxymxndAvxlxn is my no-budget alter-ego.
Yes, it was me and I do apologise.
I had no idea you had your eye on them and I didn't bid, I just clicked "Buy it now for $XX"
I'll post pics as soon as they arrive

I see you have the radial tires. Do they help in off-road traction? Like carpet. Dirt and snow if you dare?

Good idea, thanks

I can't tell a difference between the radials grip and the softer standard compounds.
