Tank Defender Build getting a little TLC

The Defender is now a 5 servo beast. Only vehicle to successfully climb the water cliff that sent the Axial home in a sling.
Doing a few little tweaks to it, 3d printing a part for some extra space.
I didn’t install the winch spool before the crawl this weekend because there was a clearance issue. After looking at the bottom of this truck, I didn’t want to take the front rock guard off to clear the winch spool, it is scratched to hell from rocks. So I just raised the winch 3mm. I also moved the front bumper out a bit an up a bit for more tire clearance to increase suspension travel while turning. Also issues I noticed on the rocks Saturday.




She is a beast!!!

We need to name that route and make a badge for it… Awarded to you of course. Maybe that is how we do it, the first person to run a line gets to name it…

Thoughts?

Defender is looking tight BTW.

Thank you, sir.
I like the naming idear. I’ll think of one for next time we go there.

Not sure about yours, but the rocks do chew up the predator rubber compound. That stuff is real soft.

I haven’t noticed it yet but I’m sure I will after this weekend.
