Outcast Build

[Buck]

New to RC trucks/cars.
Picked up an Outcast in late December...and have been actively working on it since then.
With the weather being what it is here
right now (crappy!), I am using the time to improve my rig before I get to bashing in the spring.
Here is the list of mods performed to-date:

• GKA servo
• GKA chassis braces
• Savox 1210SG waterproof servo
• Tekno yellow springs (front and rear)
• Red aluminum wing buttons
• Changed shock oil to 1000cst front and rear
• Changed bushings in bell crank to bearings
• Changed screws in battery tray to 5mm's

Things I will be doing in the coming days/weeks, as I am awaiting parts;

• Shimming all diffs
• Changing diff oil to 50/150/20 (FMR)
• Adding 3mm washers behind shock pistons
• Swapping diff mount with Hot Racing aluminum diff mount
• Swapping all bearings to Fast Eddy bearings

The only 2 things I have yet to purchase, but have not because they were on back order until recently are the RPM front bumper and rear skid plate.

Every month I tell my better half that I will curtail spending on the RC...lol...I mean to, but am having a hard time not continually finding new ways to improve, and justifying little parts to buy.
I have dropped a small fortune over the past while between the truck, the LIPO, the lipo charger, the hop ups, the tools etc...
I live in Canada so the shipping charges and weak Canadian dollar have killed me on the exchange rate!!

This forum has been awesome, great people, and I have learned so much.
Thanks Arrma for an awesome product and thanks to all on the forum who have helped me learn so much in such a short time...would have been lost without some of your inputs and guidance!
