Thanks, sixdub.

Thanks, again!

It's a clean truck and I'll likely document the restoration with a thread here once I finish a few other projects on my bench.

Email sent! It's a good weekend to head to the northside!

My original Novak 410-M5. I converted it to 3 wire I think by following an article in RCCA back in the day. I decided to clean it up and solder on new wires and a new switch. 20250510_091241.jpg 20250510_091701.jpg 20250510_141137.jpg 20250510_142020.jpg 20250510_150305.jpg Cleaned up an NER-2X also...

Better to have one and lose it, then to never have one to begin with. Lol

That car is from wayyyy back. I think it was one of Sixdub's, but I may be losing my mind AE stole my 6030 Graphite car images off of the 25 year thread for their website...made me kinda proud! Yup. Sorry for a cryptic post. Yesterday, I was looking for pics of how the Losi guys oriented their ESCs...

Hmmmm.......

If Chris doesn't contact you, I'm on the southside and always looking for excuses to make a trip to the HobbyTown up there.

Been thinking about this a bit. Have a pile of stuff to restore. Tekin or Novak? I had a Novak 410-M5 in my Pro back in the day.

That looks really good! Thanks! 8) Now with a XX CR body I painted back in the day (a bit poorly - I must have touched up some spots after removing the window masks and dusted the windows a bit). The XX body sides are a bit short for the Pro SE chassis, so I may decide to swap to an SE body. Anyway...

I used an Ultrahive decal to create a replica Jr's Choice motor from a 16x2 motor of unknown origin. It looks decent next to the real deal in my Jrx Pro. 20250420_150400.jpg Trimmed and painted a rough motor plate. Added a hydradrive. Color combo is a bit Ronald McDonald. 20250422_155100.jpg 2025042...

I have a set of Trinity Point Blank wheels and tires from way back. The rear tires are in good shape, but the fronts were dry rotted. While searching for replacement front tires, I stumbled upon some Amark wheels and tires that looked very similar to the Point Blanks. It turns out, they are the same...

Rear coming together with XX retro in 2.6 ratio mocked up to check dogbone lengths.

Even though this will be a shelfer, I had to tweak the axle placement with shims to shift the bones inboard a bit.

Oooh. Very nice!

I actually have a jr2 chassis with the sides cut in my pile of spares. Kinda wish i caught tou before you shaved the sides on yours lol. Thanks for the offer. I have a few more Jr2s including a NIP in the stash, so it was a bit relaxing to cut on this one. The bottom is pretty nice, however, so not...

Inspiration for the thread title.
