Fixed my chassis up a bit by replacing the cracked parts, bending the prop shaft back (it isn't the greatest but I will get a new one soon) and installing metal universal joints to replace the plastic dog bones. I also ordered some more purple alloy parts so will be arriving soon. I had to put an old shell on it which is my RX7 but I can't find the LED main power cable so the lights aren't working but it has dual red LED's in the rear, white in the main light area and blue in the park light area.
Here are some pics:











The upgrades I have done since getting stock are:
Shock tower brace front and rear
Adjustable shocks with progressive springs front and rear (easy to adjust for drift or grip)
Metal universals front and rear
Ball bearings throughout
Locked diff in the rear only
Sway bars front and rear
Alloy bearing steering kit
Alloy prop shaft (a bit worse for wear)
Alloy motor mount
9T brushless and 35A speedy

List of yet to do:
Replace stupid plastic hex's with alloy equivalent (big issue at the moment as they just keep breaking with the new motor)
Adjustable camber suspension arms
Better battery holder
Locked diff on the front as well (maybe)
