Projects/ideas in preparation for next season

[Sandracer_NL]

What’s every planning to do / get these coming winter months for next season. Let’s see some ideas to inspire each other
I’ll kick this off.
Mojave will get a thorough inspection, nothing needs replacing. Thinking of getting a clear body and try to do a paint job.
Currently working on my sand buggy (DR8), which will get a new fresh look, some nice upgrade parts (rear tower bridge stronger steel, aluminium rear wheel carriers, DIY windshield, new lights, stronger motor, etc.)). The rear part is almost ready, now wrapping the new body panels. After that the front part will be done. This will take some time (I don’t mind, I like the wrenching part of this hobby), since I’m cleaning each and every single part.

I have too many plans and ideas but the two that stands out the most is building a Mojave EXB or getting a DB8SL and making a paddled 2wd sand thrower (can always swap the paddles for something different for the park).
Oh and for me its not a matter of season its a matter of making my case to start another project!

Do both plans. Proline has made paddle tires for the Mojave.

I plan to run mine a lot more. It is finally cooling off enough to go outside for more than 10 minutes.

I bought a set of Traxx for my TRX4 - no downtime this winter!

I'll be bashing my 3s cars in the winter. 6s cars will be staying inside.

As I'm relatively new to the hobby. This winter I plan to do the first tear downs of my 2 granite's. Replace all bearings and service the diffs.

My viper project and crawler both have stripped diffs in the front so I will need to rebuild those too.

Will probably check the front and rear diff on my new infraction as well.

One of the things that I like about this hobby!

Same here NYC. 4:30 Sundown

AK gets like maybe 3 hours of sunlight for months on end. In the summer, it's like 3 hours of darkness (if that).
