Always think it’s funny how people “only” go to 30psi to keep reliability. Can’t wait to see the 1 million km review 😂. On a side note, if you want to make it a weapon off-road, forget trying it get a thousand horsepower out of it. Stick a set of reduction gears in the transfer case and watch it crawl up everything.

Finally doing a ZD. I'm looking forward to seeing it kill everything out there on the big tracks. I'd be putting 4 MOFO spotties on the front to blast any LED setup. How about a compact simple lithium dual battery setup? Century have just released a slimline 100ah, or Baintech 75ah. If you're going to get serious, slap some portal axles on it and go full crazy. 😁
