Default Nikko 1:6 Hummer H1 highly modified: part 2

I have spent loads of time modifying this nikko hummer as much as possible and was definitely worth it. It can run 2 hours on one charge and go some places my 1/10 traxxas summit can't

Mods so far:

4:1 gear reductions
locked front and rear diffs
Rc4wd scale winch
11.1v 5400mah venom lipo
Traxxas vxl-3s speed control
Traxxas 2075 servo
fully water proofed
head lights, tail lights and light bar (for now)
cut front bumper for clearance (not pictured)
quick disconnect for lights
ditched the nerf bars and stickers
Blacked out-stock wheels, rear bumper, tail light trim, turn signal and snorkel cover
Can run original nikko radio or tq4

Next mods:

Make a canvas open style top+hummer decals for the rocker panels
Wheel adapters are being made at the moment so I can run 12mm wheels
4 link rear or convert to independent suspension swap-move body back 1/4" and stretch wheelbase 1.25"
oil shocks

I did a ton of water crossing through some deep creeks today along with an scx10. It was soo deep at one point you couldn't hear the motors.
In this video the grass was almost 2 feet tall and the incline was super steep. The water was near a foot deep

Thanks man, it was a ton of work to get this thing where it is but now all the bugs are worked out and it's very reliable and capable especially for a nikko

The motors are the stock 540's. with 11.1v they still hold up well with it geared soo low. I will be doing some more work on it soon and will shoot pics with the body off

hey just wanted to ask if you still had the roof rack off the yellow hummer and if you do would you consider selling it to me as im building a 1/6 scale savage with a new bright hummer body and that roof rack would be perfect. thanks
