INJ4M Camel Trophy Defender Build (Almost Done)
All Injora parts except for the body, wheels (Speelik plastic), tires (Canyon Trails), and radio/receiver (Turbo Racing P32). 53 mm shocks. I need to get some Camel Trophy stickers and a few scale accessories. I should have went with a brushless system, was trying to save money (low speed transmission). I partially messed up painting and need to redo the front driver side by the headlight; I did not sand it well enough and the paint chipped off. The Injora planetary axles are wide! I guess I wasn't thinking it all through fully. 57mm tires seem to small, 63mm tires to big, I like the 60mm size but not lots of options in that size it seems.
Two other things, I have the Injora straight stainless-steel links, I used two 1mm spacers on the upper links, front and back to tilt the axle up for better drive shaft clearance. Use only one spacer on the front upper links, if you use two, the axle and servo get tilted so far forward, the servo hits the chassis is certain situations. Second, the tires barely hit the shocks at full turn. I could space the wheels out further, but it looks retarded with wheels that wide in my opinion.
Question, should I paint the wheels yellow like the real Camel Trophy Defender or leave them black?
