Got it painted and most of the decals on.

I've got a Hornet Z parts tree coming, which will take care of the lights and driver. After the driver is mounted, I can finish the roof decals.

Considering that the Bear Hawk decals weren't designed for this body, I think they look pretty decent.

Got the driver figure, lights, and decals finished.

Just need some AmPro chassis braces and this one will be done.

Got the Am-Pro upper and lower chassis braces installed. They are a little awkward to install but not terribly so.

Combined with running long screws all the way through, these really help stiffen up the chassis.

Looking good! Man I had forgotten all about the SPIKE esc. Installed of of those in a friend's car before, I think it was a super blackfoot.

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Here is a buggy I bought for parts, yet I am not sure as to the model, and parts. Is it worth keeping and restoring?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Last post

Just wanted to run an update: This buggy has been passed on to another member of the forum. I have since bought a TRX1 from another person here. The Car/Truck I had posted is to be donated for a vintage build.

I decided to build an Optima Mid Lwb Lazer zx hybrid. I am using parts from several donor cars.

The first donor was a TF-4R which graciously traded its one-way for a gear drive and its spring-tension diff shafts for wave washer tension shafts....

Really great to see. I never would use a lazer zx chasis on a optima mid..but thats just me. Interesting battery position..but if thats tbe case you must remove one top deck standoff ad you will get more flex..not sure how the car will handle in a...

Firstly, a quick hello as new to the forum. I have been lurking and drawing inspiration for a few weeks now, and as the parts have started to arrive, thought it time to say hello.

I am currently putting parts and hopefully a donor car together for...

After reading your posts, and seeing pics of your runner build...it has inspired me to keep my world's chassis and build it a different way, and not so much building it in stock form. Thanks!

Hi guys -

This A-stamp chassis has been sitting around for a while. I think I bought it from rctenracer. Anyway, I thought I should do something with it, so I'm building a runner with it featuring hex axles all around, RC4WD tires, Gear Head...

Last post

I love the combination of that gorgeous livery with the charcature-like oversized head and tires/wheels.
By the way: The early prototype of the rc10 used a Rough Rider body too.

Picked up a T2 chassis on ebay. So far I filled the two holes on the side with jb weld. Cleaned up the chassis . The front bulk head is new . Cleaned up the trans and installed new diff balls , rings ,and out drives. Also mount the klien arms and...

Last post

Yeah, it is a little narrower that a B3. I have klien arms , b44 CVDS , GT carriers , B4 axle spacers on it. So it should be the same as a rc10. For now its going on the shelf until I get a body figured out for it. The B3 body won't work even if I...

I've been kicking around running an RC10Mid type chassis on carpet since the closest track to me is an indoor carpet setup. I went with Scr8p and had a pretty good time earlier this summer, but I converted a gold pan from clay to carpet and while it...

I started with silver rears. Yes I have a number of ways to overcome, shorter springs would be the easiest way. Thanks for the tip on the ghea spacers.

Hey I found this in a search and have some questions as I'm in the process of modding my Sand Scorcher using the DF-03 slipper as well.

Did you have to swap the top gear out? I didn't even know it would come out.

I also ordered the RC channel rear...
