Morgoth's Kraton 6s

[Morgoth]

Hi there!
I've got my Kraton 6s v4 in November, it's my first RC car after about 25 years. I didn't plan to create a build thread because I didn't want to upgrade it... Well you know how this usually ends...
These are the upgrades I already did, there's more to come:

- TBR XV4 2.0 front bumper
- BLR rear skid plate https://www.utility-shop.de
- POS rear mudguards
- DumboRC X6 remote
- vented the tires
- taped the body with duct tape
- POS wing mount (and a new wing because I broke both)

Oh, if anyone knows a shop with the Backflip LP's in stock and shipping to Germany for a reasonable price, please let me know!

You will likely need to bake off the old tires and reuse the wheels. Very hard to find any mounted BLPs right now.
