I have a broken trx3 upper plate too. Thought I would use it to make one also. Thanks for the advice and explaining how you made it. Yours looks great.

what wheel options have you found that work for a TRX-1 and TRX-3? Do the Traxxas 2474 Bandit wheels work? They look like they would. How about fronts? anyone make a wheel that fits a 10mm bearing that has the right offset?

I know this is an old thread, but did you have this made or make it yourself? any tips on making one for myself?

Is anyone making reproduction shrink wrap that looks like original scr or scr cells? I have some old matched packs that I want to rebuild for shelf cars but the labels look rough.

It took them 30 years to dry out. I think that you're good for a while.

Excellent point.

I finished rehydrating and whitening the parts from my Traxxas trx-1 project and it turned out great. Everything is nice and semi flexible, and almost the same color as they were back in the early 90’s. My concern now is, should I further treat the parts to keep them from drying out again?

What does everyone use to “condition” the plastic after the whitening process? Anything suggested like an oil or silicone? I would guess that most oils could deteriorate plastic, but maybe there’s something synthetic that would work?

Hi everyone, currently live in Austin, Texas. Recently got into vintage collecting. Picking up all the cars that I used to have from the late 80’s and through the 90’s when I got into racing.

Any suggestions on replacement Jrx2 rear tires? Seems like there have been a few 2.0” tires available in the past, but nothing currently. I’d prefer some 4 rows like the originals but would settle for almost anything that looks like it came from that era.
