More Orange, this one needed to be driven for some Break-in miles.

No, just been busy with work and other projects…

I wanted to build something a little different after picking up a well-used and poorly-dyed Lightz fiberglass oval conversion. This is the result after filling extra holes and damage, sanding and painting the chassis. - JCAR DDS tranny - Raborn sliders & rear arms - Cheetah QC/DC battery system ...

What was the big change you planned on doing ?

I have some vintage black MIP shocks for the truck. I am just waiting to get them refinished. Once they go on, the stealth look should be complete. Thanks

Hey buddy. You have the long version. The version I prefer. You lucky SOB, lol.

The shorter chassis thing came up once before.

Not seeing a servo saver hole in this one. 9F55B2C1-BE32-4E66-B8A9-EABDFFC38B00.jpeg

Look closer it’s there under the servo saver

Yea I still don’t see it

^ MarkyDents - Thanks. I am using all aluminum hardware on this build. Most of it is from FastenerExpress. Servo mounted. I don't love the angle of the rod from the servo to the rack, but this seems the only way to make it fit in this chassis. Has anyone been able to get a straighter setup in this c...

^ Juicedcoupe - Thanks for the suggestions. The offset ball link is a great idea. I will have to look into my crawler stuff and see what I have. Here is my modified steering setup, meant to be as close as I can get to an RPM enhanced steering kit. I hope to find a real RPM kit someday, but until the...

^ MarkyDents - Thanks! The front hubs and spindles come from a Losi NXT. The shape of their hub is very close to the RPM units. I cut down the spindles to match the buggy length. I was excited to use one of these colorful neoprene dust covers on the transmission, but that meant it would cover these ...

I am wondering if a white Stealth transmission case may look better than the black? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Something fun to watch and maybe try if you happen upon a big pile of leaves

I got this project pretty far today. I swapped on these Trinity 5 spoke wheels. I prefer them to the pink clones.

Electronics aren't wired yet. Just waiting on the body now.

Hi All, I received some good news today. I’ve been looking for a new home for quite a while now but so far have always missed out or something just doesn’t pan out. Anyway was driving through my suburb of choice and just had a feeling I needed to drive through a particular street and low and behold ...

I had major emergency abdominal surgery 3 years ago, and when I woke after the operations (unconscious for the full first month), I discovered my ankles and feet were now paralyzed. At the time, we lived in a small house, and all my RC gear was in my workshop in the basement, where I now had no way ...
