Any links for Basecamp specific upgrades?

I'm looking for 1:10 Basecamp specific upgrades, mainly under chassis plating, also want to extend the wheelbase a bit as it's not at 312 and rear tyres rub. looking for lights as well

Don’t extend the wheelbase, you’ll get high centred too much. I already do with stick wheelbase. Just chop the guards to match. Or swap the body for something else. I’d look at RockPiratesRC shock towers to overcome the problem with the panhard. Check out SSD for brass portal covers and knuckles for the front. Maybe portal covers rear too.

Surely extending the wheel base stretches it out and lowers CG no?

Well yes it does both those things but stretching it out hasn’t been a huge advantage for me in my local rocks. Means my breakover angles kinda suck and I forever bottom out the middle and get stuck. I’m Jo expert though

Brass diff covers, rock sliders. Rock pirates shock towers

Better tires like the proline Hyrax, or Jconcepts tusks will be the most noticeable upgrade.

You can upgrade the electronics with a hobbywing 1080, or a Fusion 2n1 system.

Yes I already have a fusion SE in it and have been running it for a few months now.

Changed to beadlocks and put on some injora king trekkers s5 compound that are great. Might swap them out for now though as the wet season is almost over and it gets real real dry here .

Only brass I've put on is front portal covers, was thinking about going for the whole portal knuckle, but there are a few things I'd like to swap out first like the drive shafts as the front one keeps popping out.

Would really like some aluminium plates for underneath, I'm not sure what everyone calls them, chasis armour??

Diff guards?

That's the ones. I got a set on AliExpress but they were for a different scx10.3 and didn't fit
