That's a really nice upgrade for a raider mega. And that paint job is out of this world, I did a paint job on my raider XL blx, I thought mine looked good but your's looks like it came from the factory! Great looking buggy also.

CVDs are in. Wheel hex pin is further back now so I'll be ordering some different ones. <the pin barely sits in the STRCs now, but function>
Reduced front shock oil weight from 60 to 40 and put the durango silver spring on. Hopefully that will allow for better turning.View attachment 9535 View attachment 9536 View attachment 9537

Did you run into any issues with the CVD rubbing on the lower control arm? I just installed them in mine, and seems I may need to take the Dremel to it just a bit.

Pics? I didnt have that issue, but I no longer own the rc either. I traded it.

All that work and you let it go? I'll see if I can get some pics over the weekend.

Yeah, the work was 3/4s of the fun for me.

Here's a pic of what I was talking about. I ran it today and it's wearing on its own, but before I continue to put unneccessary stress on the gearbox I'm gonna give it some clearance.

My bad..... not sure why I didnt realize we were talking about two different things.

Anyway, I ran the dremel on it just a bit and i got all the clearance I need. I'll take it out for a run tomorrow and see how we do!
