older pic. left is rebuilt and right is mainly stock but has some parts.

the following quote is from the AI. i love it.

-RC Paradox-

"If you take a stock RC and, over the years, swap out the chassis for carbon fiber, the plastic arms for aluminum, and upgrade the motor, ESC, and radio—is it still the same truck you pulled out of the box?

Philosophers call this the Ship of Theseus. It suggests that identity isn't about the stuff we are made of, but the patterns we create and the time we spend with things.

But there’s a twist: If someone took all your old, discarded parts from the trash and built a complete car out of them, which one is the 'real' original? The upgraded one you're driving, or the 'ghost' car made of the original parts?"

my explanation..

"Saw a video that got me thinking about identity, so I geeked out with an AI for a bit. We talked about how humans are essentially 'new' every decade because our cells replace themselves and some other things. Ai made me realize my RC is now a temporal paradox—I’ve modded it so much that not one original part is left. Is it the same truck I bought, or just a new one carrying the old one's 'soul'? i feel like it just shifted over in a way but only because i rebuilt it."

Picture 1, current build

Picture 2, old injora gladiator chassis

Picture 3, old pic of injora chassis build

Picture 4, my thought of combining both chassis with some mods to both. Resulting in an even more angled skid.

Lately I've been wanting to re assemble my old injora chassis. There's nothing wrong with the buggy one but i just get bored and want to make stuff. What chassis would you go with between the two. I also thought of combining the two to gain the angled skid on the buggy. I could also cut and bend the buggy chassis to get the similar effect. No matter what I do tho it would need some modification to work. Swapping back to the carbon chassis is just easier but im not sure if its "better". I have 1 set of injora 43mm double barrels and a set of 51mm double barrels. Looking to get the big bore 40mm and 51mm someday.

What would you do? Obviously a brand new chassis would be key but I just can't do that right now. I kinda like the looks of the buggy better but I also really want to get the ir60 body so the chassis would be the choice for that. I could always just build up another whole truck but like I said I'm just not spending money like that for the moment. We're moving and I'm saving money type thing.

Thank you!
