I'm going to be a little different, and say ....anything by "Timsane". For those who like building, his fabrications are awesome to watch. Unfortunately, he hasn't posted anything in quite some time (health issues).

I got a couple of new bodies from Santa!....Merry Christmas, everyone!
McAllister Ascot modified for my Slash.
Odd Designs Camry for my (stretched) T3.

This is an awesome build....I can't wait to see it finished.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. Actually, I'm not sure which one I used. I just looked them up, and I think either would work.

Neither....It's an old T3 stadium truck, just stretched to short course specs.

Thank you so much!...Yes, it's a servo mount from Exotek. The bracket in front of it is the rear battery holder. Here's a close up:
Here's the front:
I used a JConcepts steering crank for an RC10.

I've built my T3 into a homemade, short course spec abomination....I cut my own chassis, shock tower, and braces from G10 fiberglass, and pretty much redesigned most of the layout....It's become my street terrorizer, and is easily the most fun driving car I have.

Set fire to anything RTR.

Simple answer: 6-gear transmission parts.

I first got into RC in 1985, when I stumbled upon a toy store selling kits (Tamiya). Building has always been the biggest appeal to me. Since then, I've built, bashed and raced most types of cars. I usually go through it in waves, sometimes going 5-6 years without touching them, then getting hot and...

Awesome job, scr8p ! ....Very well thought out.

Here's my 2023 update.... Just when you think I'm done, I get sucked in again. Front: Scratch-built tractor and rotary cutter, with Axial gearbox and rear end. Back, L-R: 6 gear RC10, original, with re-re chassis, CVAs and RPM suspension arms (Shelf Queen) 6 gear, original, with traxxas caster/steer...

I gave away my 6-gear roller to a neighbor kid about 25 years ago, because I wasn't aware of any parts availability....If anything, I wanted a few parts back - Losi bellcrank, solid brass nose tubes, aluminum transmission bearing carrier, and Racemaster delrin 2.0 rims.

Rainy day here, so I disassembled, cleaned and lubed the transmission on my 6-gear runner....After my latest runs, I figured it at least needed an inspection.

Bingo! ....Same time frame, same situation. I've been trying to find my niche ever since.
