Color pic:
Seems to be a carbon adapter plate on the rear bulkhead to drop the inboard camber link point down
Going to assume that is a TRX-1 trans and motorplate, even though I don't see the motor guard portion (I'm not insane enough to cut one off).
It doesn't appear to have full height steering posts that mate to the top deck. Nor does the top deck have the holes for the posts.
I think though that I should at least try
to get a chassis plate set (made?) with
the top deck steering post hole delete.
Not sure what shade/tint of FG would
be available though.
Also, some of the hardware there at the rear is cone washers and taper-head screws.
I'll trim the antenna clips off the battery box sides and swap them around so the outsides will be clean.
Looks like an AE antenna mount there peeking out on the opposite side.
I realize the pics are two different buggies. Maybe one set up for stock and the other mod.
Bummer that Lunsford shuttered. Turnbuckles.....maybe one of the RC10 worlds replicas ('89 or '91) sets would work. Or GP3D has some custom length options, possibly.
I've ordered some ballstuds, repro ball cups and repro Yoke spring compression clips from/thru GP3D.
Have:
Trans case/internals, motor plate, etc.
Dog bones
Correct shock bodies/blue caps, towers
Almost all of the white plastics (no front bulkhead, yet)
So, in summary, I want/intend to build something very similar to this. I've got some of the stuff and not the other stuff. I obviously couldn't wait to post my intentions. I have squandered valuable host server space with fluff and speculation. For that, I apologize.
Oh, and I need what look to be old coins for weights.
EDIT: bit of a pivot here. After looking at the only four pics that exist of this variation, I have determined that the buggy in the color pic above is Derek Furatani's. I reached out to a few body manufacturers and it was decided that, although "possible", producing a narrowed version of the TRX-1 body (as it appears Mr. Vehlow ran) is cost prohibitive. (Duh?). So I will use the two body-off pictures to get as close to an approximation of the buggy as it appears, then get a RCPS Mirage SS body done up with Mr. Furatani's scheme.
Just trying to capture an interesting moment in Traxxas's's "history of racing".
so, I'm going with these JC Racing 5-spokes.
