Wow! Love em!
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

These are really cool. Eagle chassis with Magnum trans and buggy wheels/tires. I like the wheels with bigger holes.

Nice buggies!

Hope you're doin' something fun.

Thanks for the kind words -

As for the wheels, the fronts are Tamiya Super Hornet - the rears I can´t remember, I´m going to need a little help from Mr.ED, he´s got some 12mm hex? while mine are Traxxas or losi? crosspins.

I did have a full set: with the matching front on bearings. But I sold them to bearrickster around 10 years ago.
I think they were a french make, maybe drastic?

Do you do flowing shirts with ruffly sleeves in satin?


Is that body TRX-3 or early Bandit? I see the B-pillar molded in there.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Thanks for the help on the ID of the wheels, Mr. ED.

TRX-1-3 :
Satin is my favorite fabric, after that comes velvet :mrgreen:

The body is sold as being a TRX-3 repro (Penguin UK). I have an original Expert body but it was cut too rough to be worth spending two hours on.
Plan is to order a couple of Expert repro bodies AND then start masking AGAIN :lol:

I say they are more like a Rad2, with a bullet chassis and bellcranks. Or are those chassis painted graphite?

I have a new blue eagle which as the bullet shaped chassis and yes it was painted. I think of the RAD2 as TRX3 with a plastic chassis in the middle.

yeah, I have a blue eagle with the bullet shaped graphite chassis too....i thought initially someone did a crappy job painting it, it turns out it was traxxas that painted it. I stripped the paint off.

but it's hard to tell in the pics above if the chassis are the eagle chassis or not....

Not just any black paint: a hard glossy coat with gold and purple glitter. The perfect match with dennis paintscheme ;)
The original body is the same as the standard radicator right?
