Alright guys, apparently I can’t leave well enough alone so I’m starting a thread to document my progress, though it will be slow.
Stock, fresh out of the box.
I’ve been a little busy today. Swapped center diff fluid to 200k, left the front and rear for now as i only have 10k, 100k and 200k. Going to pick up some 50k for the front and either 20 or 30k for the rear.
Installed the powerhobby heat sink and fans, my Futaba R304sb for my new 3pv, along with a Novak 19t pinion.
Pulled the cockpit out to mod the rear for fans, went to a test drive. Wow, she goes much better now. Ran a HRB 5000 pack to lvc this afternoon in 79 degree weather and temps were 135 Average for motor, 123 for ESC and battery at 130, and that’s with going for most of the drive. I did have an issue where I lost throttle, but still had steering. Will have to look into that issue.
More as things are done.

Still have some work to do, I have yet to buy a Dremel and will be a little bit as I have 2 birthdays to buy presents for and my youngest broke his bed ? so I’m making due with what I have atm. I’ve drilled the holes to get it close and plan is to file it smooth after trimming. Btw, this plastic is THICC! But will be mounting 2 40mm fans underneath. I’m thinking of shaping some kydex for air scoops but not yet sure. Will do experimenting to see what will work and look good.

Finished my fan install this weekend. Bought a Dremel Thursday so was able to finish it. Came out really clean looking imo.
