Nice little "precious" :) Congrats to it!
Though I've never understood what's so good in mudding...

it's winter here and our track is damp, good traction compared to summer though when it's dusty.

I like my 4wd buggy in the summer

Yeah there's wasn't any real mud around, it's just a nice amount of moisture to make good traction, like a speedway track. They are off road cars they belong in the dirt :)

Nice mad rat, I have change some screw too. Did you find a compelet pack of them?

You dumper was the 3 racing?

Dampers are GPM, didnt want to get green ones, like having the colours matching. I had to use and drill out the aluminium spacer at the rear to keep the action smooth. The fronts just went straight on. Not sure of the weight of the oil but I swear by bosch chainsaw oil, I use it in all my car shocks.

The screws I got as a full set from ebay (even got a pile of spares)

I like how you have your servo setup and the batt forward

Yes ! Lot of steering because of the lipo's position and lot of rear grip and motricity because of the esc's position :)
AND a light car (1520gr) very good handling... I really love this weight configuration and couldnt go back to the stock weight configuration !

Motor Plate
 

I don't think these screws will pull through:-

I've done the same mod on my stock motor plate, but no need so far with the option motor plate.

I think, I will go to and make an "option motor plate" :P Mine is bent in an S shape. I hate it.

You guys are rough :) I haven't striped the threads or bent the plate yet (much), maybe only 1 or 2 degrees.

Today I'm going to pick up my 4wd from the post office and tonight I'll start the build thread, I'll try and take a macro picture of every single part and make it a good thread

Congratulations nicefrog! :) Really no need for comments here :)
P.S. I will give one more season for myself to learn ro explore what the MadRat can offer, and after that I will buy a 4WD buggy, or SC truck
