In this thrilling installment of AMain Hobbies' base camp build series, our intrepid team delves deeper into the art of optimizing their truck's performance. Addressing viewer suggestions with the finesse of a seasoned driver, they navigate challenges like wheel weights and ride height adjustments, showcasing their expertise in the face of technical hurdles. Utilizing a digital angle gauge like a seasoned pro, they meticulously assess the truck's stability and make strategic modifications to enhance its center of gravity, setting the stage for improved performance on the rugged terrain ahead.
With a keen eye for detail and a thirst for adventure, the team ingeniously shifts the battery forward to achieve a lower center of gravity, a move that promises to revolutionize the truck's climbing capabilities. Crafting a custom mounting plate from a Lexan sheet with the precision of a master craftsman, they secure the battery in its new position, setting the stage for a thrilling test of the truck's angles and climb performance. As the dust settles and the results come in, it becomes clear that their efforts have not been in vain, with noticeable improvements in stability and weight distribution setting the stage for further enhancements.
In a bold move that would make even the most seasoned gearhead nod in approval, the team adds brass weights and Samix portal covers to the mix, fine-tuning the truck's performance with surgical precision. As they test the truck's angles and weight bias once more, the incremental improvements are palpable, hinting at the promise of even greater feats on the horizon. With the installation of SSD portal gears for a 25% overdrive, the team pushes the boundaries of what's possible, gearing up for the next phase of their epic journey towards off-road supremacy.
