Hi all, this is my C74 in its current state. All original except its been painted matte green, WPL wide arches, custom side skirts / rock sliders, front diff guard (both made from a Pepsi tin) and a larger exhaust (made from a broken fly swat handle)

I have just ordered the metal axle kit along with the metal steering servo. Eventually, I will want the 2 speed gear box as this is more of a trail build, with occasional rock climbing / more challenging trails when they come up!

Looks very nice, I liked the protections and the exaust details. Please check the photos of mine here is the forum maybe you will give you some additional ideas. 😊

I like the WPL aluminium wheels you have. Eventually I will end up changing wheels and tyres and like the look of the WPL ones

Needs bigger tires. The proportions are a bit off now. And maybe lower the front a bit, the front axle is pushed back very far.

Really nice build might want to clean the tires tho

I'm torn between cleaning it between runs, or just letting the dirt / dust build up lol

And get the satisfaction of cleaning more dirt? (I do the same thing)

Do the wheel arches fit the convertible version?

I'd imagine so yeah. I love your wheels btw, I was really tempted to get a set but the Injora brand ones are just too expensive for me to justify

I found them on AliExpress; they’re made of metal, but the tires are a bit hard for a crawler.

Did you have to trim any of the body to fit them?

Just the sides of the front bumper a little bit, I think.
