Looking really good and close to being done. Took it completely apart and soaked all the plastic pieces and cleaned everything real good. And the best part is it all works too.

Thanks for the info. Luckily I don’t have to have those parts necessarily to have a complete car but if I run across some of those I would like to get them just so I can make this buggy look fresh out of the box. So I will keep my eye out for them and in the meantime I’ll get this one cleaned real g...

Here’s what I’m lookin for that I haven’t been able to find so far.

Shock collars and shock retainers in white (#1965)
Turnbuckle set (#2741)
Front wheels dyeable nylon (#2771)
Front bumper white (#2735)
Decals and window mask (#2713)
Front and rear shock springs (#4650, 4651, 4655)

Going to be painting my TRX1 body this week and looking for some feedback if I should go with the original paint scheme or something completely different and more modern looking. I’m definitely leaning towards the original paint job but would like to hear some feedback regarding it.

Thanks everyone. I can definitely see there is more support and appreciation for the vintage stuff on this site. I will keep posting pictures as I go. I have some other vintage rc cars and trucks that I’ll be posting also but wanted to start here with the one that got me into rc racing to begin with...

I mainly just wanted to get it put back together for now and see what parts I needed and see if it all works. Everything works and just need a couple of parts then plan to take it all apart and soak the plastic pieces to help make it less brittle. Got a clear body and have been trying to decide what...

That rear shock tower though.

Yeah that rear shock tower has to go. The correct one will be installed soon. Also needing a few shock parts that I’m having difficulty finding but hopefully can track down soon.

My sons are getting into rc racing so it has rekindled my love for the hobby. I bought a RC10B6.4 for o race but I decided to break out my original rc cars from when I was a kid. This TRX-1 was my very first rc car that I saved up for and bought as a teenager and have kept it in almost new condition...
