Well I would start here.....ditch the stock Axial chassis. It's great for bashing but that is about it! I would set your shocks up as droop, this will bring your COG down a lot and make that rig a lot more predictable! Get a split pack on your front axle or go lipo and put it on the other side of the axle across from the servo. This will get that weight over the front axle and help with climbing greatly. Get some weight in your wheels. Get your ESC mounted on the back axle plate. Start there and see how much more you rig will do! Then I will take ya further down the road of simple free mods!
