What am I working on?

Post by Jay Dub »

Heres a little tidbit of the projects I am working on. Those vintage pros will be able to identify most of the parts here. This set is nearly ready for the anodizing shop. Most are Kyosho, all are not. -Jeff

I missed this thread the first time around! All the parts looks great, especially the TRX1. I always thought the pale blue never did that part justice.

Looking forward to some build threads!!

I always thought the TRX1 motor plate looked crappy too. I was hoping it wasn't an alloy issue. I have had parts in the past that wouldn't take color well, and ended up looking like the stock traxxas plate. I was stoked to see almost everything came out perfect. The Yok adapters are for the Optima BTW, I always though yok rims looked better on other manufacturers cars than their own :P . There is also a custom hub in there, that you will all see later as part of a slipper assembly for my stock ultima tranny. My TRX1 is really nice, but my Ultima is SICK :D . -Jeff Thanks for the kind words BTW.
