I wanted to share my journey building my limitless, I'm really not an R/C guy or so I tell myself but I am an automotive enthusiast and anything with wheels and tons of power is my addiction.
What started out as a $240 dollar brand new limitless deal off of FBmarketplace is now an obsession that is costing me more than a used Honda Civic.
I apologize as none of the photos are in order lol; I've been fighting to organize it and can't seem to make it work so I'd just be okay with it like this. (There are more photos but I'm limited to just 15 in one post lol)
Lots of titanium bolts in places that don't require much strength yet reducing weight ; Regular black steel screws in places it needs the strength; some stainless here and there just for looks.
I am not done yet; I have more things planned and will take better proper photos later on. More details to come. There is probably a lot I am missing here but its all I can think of right now; more recent photos to come! Thank you for stopping by.

This is a custom skid plate I created with the original plastic limitless splitter; I originally tried to source a skid plate that would work but turns out I could just double-side tape the original splitter on by cutting it; this way the plastic is what hits the ground and not the carbon fiber which will fray and break.
Stripped the red off the shock bodies and rebuilt them; I since removed the green nitro tubing that I used as limiters since the Perfect pass springs are super stiff; The front shocks I cut some plastic tubing to about 6mm and placed them inside the shock shaft to limit down-travel to limit my ride height. Car is sitting 10mm off the ground from the skid plate I created for the splitter to the ground.
