+ 1 on the awesome rides Ken.
They look the business.

Hi Scott,

Great to have you on the forum.

One of my fellow racers here is Aus would like to know if it's true that the TRX-1 had other names prior to it's release?

Jason, I would not run it. Don't run it, agreed a sin to dive a rare, awesome ride. As you can see in the Squadron pics, I have a new built RC-10 Graphite, fortunately I have enough RC10's to to run. Last new build TRX-1 I saw was back in '92. The car had so much hype after the '91 worlds and "...

Better late than never Jason. There you go A&L bellcranks, I wasn't sure. Get down to the Vic's in April and team up with me to beat Ant in the 540 class. It's TRX-1 Vs Cougar 2. I have enough parts to mount a sustained attack! One of the older racers got a bit teary eyed when I showed him the T...

Jeff, thanks for the tip!
I think with the SWB chassis and CVDs the car will be a weapon.

Hi Jeff,

Are the OT5 outdrives still a current part?

Hi Ken, not too sure what make bellcranks they are. The yellow ones are circa 1993 vintage. Someone will know the make here on the forum.

I have three other TRX1's (in various stages of completion....), none have the original steering

Will be good to see your box art buggy.

So those CVD's are off an RB5?
That's awesome if it's that easy.

Finally, here are some pics of some of "The Squadron". One Car is a runner, the other while not mint, is the shelf, or at the moment cupboard queen.... As per usual, original bodies are like chickens teeth. The runner gets the privilege of a bandit body. Funny how the TRX-1 would have to b...

I know the Bandit gear cover does not fit. Front Steering blocks & wheel spindles -Original- #2737 can be changed with #2536 Castor blocks - Original- # 2723 can be changed with #2634R Rear hubs - Original - #2752- can be changed with #1952 Battery tray: Rc10 trays fit rather well :D As far as I...

Hi Ken,

Yes I am using Traxxas wheels. All the shims are per manual.

Perhaps I am just tightening the nut too much. It is interesting that most cars do use crush tubes these days.

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has tried crush tubes in the TRX-1 rear hubs.

I find the rear wheels tend to bind if done up too tight.

It would be interesting to know about the "several projects" that are also happening.

I'm sure there will be a few RC10's getting converted here in Aus.

Yep, the Losi body was very popular back in the day.

Looks the goods. Will it fit the SWB chassis?

I was also wondering whether the J Concepts Bandit body would be a good fit.
