I folks!
I thought an update would be in order

Also shows my Arduino-based project to make a transmitter myself.

Lots of small things amounting to some progress:
Needed to crossdrill the wormwheel to prevent it from slipping.
Crossdrilled the motor shafts to install 2mm pins and standard 12mm hexes,
as the old grub-screw hexes proved unreliable.
Then tapped the motor shafts (internal M3) to mount the wheels, as the old fixture
with a grub screw collar was really bad.
Modified the Slash wheels:
Modified the front and especially the rear implement mechanism:
Modified the hood/bonnet
Added mechanical floating positions for both circle lifts:
complete with new switches on my joysticks
(The red switch is the dual rate, which gives me two driving speeds.)
Improved the articulation joint with thrust bearings
Currently I am working to get my driven front axle going, it's looking promising:
Cheers
