First thing I wanted to change was a silly cosmetic item, the cowboy hat. I modeled up a Baseball cap with an Axial logo on it. I also painted the head while I was in there.







Here's the file for the hat minus the Axial logo (NOTE THE DOWNLOAD ALL LINK IS NOT WORKING CLICK 'THING FILES' AND DOWNLOAD THE INDIVIDUAL FILE) : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5102828

Then I took on the Battery tray As I do with almost every rig I get. Its probably fine stock but It just bugged me that one of my heaviest rigs with my heaviest batteries has the flimsiest battery tray. I was also able to move the batteries inward 10-12mm. I did try out making an EF Logo for my design, sorry for those who dont want that.
Overall dimensions for the battery tray are 46mm wide x 153mm long

I was just looking at the flex in the panhard mounts and Exocaged just put up a video showing what he's done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKTXlO_wKnw

I'm gonna go fab up a Brace for the panhard axle mount right now before I head out for a Trail run today.

EDIT: heres the brace I came up with for the panhard mount on the axle







Its pretty much the same as what Exocaged did but I used 1/8" steel instead of Aluminum. I thinned out the end nearest the shock collar to gain a bit of clearance and afterwards noticed the chassis end of the panhard bar was offset to the wrong side which was also causing the rod end to rub on the brace. So if you notice rubbing it may be the rod end thats backwards.
