Very interested in the outdrive/dogbone combo... can you please explain what are these parts and where to source them, please?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the dogbones are oem traxxas...maybe came with a TCP or maybe even TRX3. The outdrives on the trans are made by STRC. I'll try to get you all the part numbers.

The rear wheels are TRX3 , 2.2 inch. I bought a set of Bandit front wheels that have the same look. Gonna look into aftermarket,bandit style caster block/steering knuckles that have the inboard bearings. If that works I be able to put any current 2.2 front and rear tires on it. the bandit front wheels I bought are either 2.1 or 2.2

Dude!,

Keep us posted on the front axle conversion effort. I have been curious and wanting to give it a try but I am a lazy POS all at the same time. 2.2 fronts can go on 2.15 wheels, but it ends up pretty "Busch league".

A&L (Mr. Daryl Lane) still puts out dogbone kits for the TRX-1 / 3.

update!

Integy front caster blocks with bandit steering knuckle. The bandit hinge pin that goes through the arm is a smaller diameter than the hole in the arm. Drilled a hole and used a set screw. I have other new old stock arms otherwise I wouldn't have drilled the holes

Looks great!

If it were me, I would have drilled out the hole in the caster block instead. But that's just me. Looks like it worked great either way!

awesome looks! Agree with drilling the castor block... that small grub screw has a lot of work to do to hold that wobbling pin....
