Freshing up the transmission with new internals, drag race concepts top shaft.... So there is still a modern aftermarket top shaft available for the slipper conversion aside from the STRC one! Nice nugget of info there. Thanks. How's the fit on that top shaft? I found the STRC one to be ever-so-sli...

The motor plate is a Trx-1, looks similar to the jrx . For hinge pines I used : https://www.amainhobbies.com/st-racing-concepts-heat-treated-polished-steel-locknut-style-hinge-pin-black-sptst3640bk/p34391 You still need to order front outer hinge pins to complete the set. Rear hubs are Traxxas 1952,...

Got the rear ended mounted, I really like the strc hinge pins with the nuts and not using e-clips. Not sure what I am going to do for wheels, I would like to use a b6 wheels if I can find a taller hex to correct the offset, if not bandit dish wheels

The hinge pin bore portion of the Bandit bulkhead has a different molding shape and sits higher off the chassis than the TRX1 bulkhead (because the bulkhead is the chassis/bottom of chassis on the Bandit/Rustler and this portion sits on top of the chassis when used in a TRX1 application). There may...

Just curious. Any reason you're not using the regular front arm mounts in black? Also, I'll have to double check this but I'm pretty sure that the Nitro Rustler front arms are a bit shorter than the electric arms. Might give you the correct width without having to change other parts. Mainly due to ...

Narrowed a bandit bulkhead, redrilled the mounting holes and made a hinge pin brace.

The front with is a little wider then stock, pretty sure I can compensate the different with caster blocks or wheel off set

So there is still a modern aftermarket top shaft available for the slipper conversion aside from the STRC one! Nice nugget of info there. Thanks. How's the fit on that top shaft? I found the STRC one to be ever-so-slightly wobbly. Even after the precision shimming effort. Didn't seem to be an end-p...

Freshing up the transmission with new internals, drag race concepts top shaft with a steel 21t gear to run the ae slipper.


Dyed the yellowing case and bulkhead black.

What are your plans, and you probably already know the front bulkheads are on backwards. TRX1 owners are a small but prestigious and quietly confident bunch :lol: Well I planned on this being a modern runner, but after breaking the car down and cleaning and boiling the plastics, some of the parts a...

Purchase this trx-1 to make a runner a few years back and finally have the time to start cleaning it up to make a runner

What degree castor does the custom works conversion have? And how much did it change the front wheel base?

i would also try removing the tie rod braces from the bulkhead to the chassie, allow the tube to flex a little will increase rear grip
