With that narrower Lesu front axle the tires tuck waaaaay more than before.  And this is shown with wheels that have much less backspacing than the ones I've been using.  I would actually like to space them out a bit more.  The issue is the scrub radius is pretty bad and at full lock the tires get into the back/inside of the fenders.  I either need to do some clearancing and/or raise the fenders up a bit.
Loving the new AC unit!
And I've got a bit of good news to report on the ESP32 sound unit.  I have it operating the lights like it should, but am working on the sound now.  Fingers crossed I can get it all working properly!
