Good job on those! They look ace.

Laying down electronics. The ESC turned out great after a good cleaning. Some of the FETs were oxidised and the whole switch was covered with old dried glue. Case was lightly polished.
I added a Futaba receiver too. Still debating soldering the motor wires as it is brand new.

Today I digged out all the Tekin ESCs I had. It was a no brainer to go with the bulky black and gold one. It needs some love to look good, nothing major though.

would you remember the specs of that black and gold beaut?
It wears a white dot label with 901 written on it.
Has a Trinity end bell.

Ok so Kyosho gold shocks went out really nice after a good maintenance. They are still butter smooth after all these years. No oil yet in them, but I’m tempted to do so. Usually I don’t store my cars with oil in the shocks, just some green slime in the cartridge. I finally found a good use for those...

Cher David, Looks fantastic... this conversion is legendary... and quite not the shizznit on the track bitd iirc :lol: That yokomo on the motor plate is superb! Option House's would look great on this car indeed, with Tecna's for instance. Will you also replace the blue countersunk washers with bro...

Almost a roller now. Let’s get onto shocks! I’m tempted to use used Kyosho golds, it was wearing black Yokomo ones before with white plastic cups and spacers. Decisions decisions

Next steps are adding sway bars. I will also try to put a mono shock system in the front. Might look cool.

I then swapped the white stealth tranny that was in there with a black one. I adapted a gear cover and used some cloth with a sticky side to better seal it.

Made some progress on the rear end today and finally got this damn rack to work by using spacers, longer screws, etc. It now works butter smooth although it feels very fragile.

Yeah, been hunting long time to find this set. And the nose plate there is one I bought from you!

Getting there slowly on the front end.
I replaced the white stock bulkhead with a one piece RPM one. Added a MIP zero maintenance bellcranks and replaced the former clear fibreglass shock tower with a black died one.

Hi guys and gals, Been away from here and the hobby for quite some time, mainly due to a huge move to a new house and the Photobucket buggers totally discouraged me to restore all the picture inputs I had made on this fantastic forum. Now thanks to the F’@&) COVID-19 crap, I finally managed to b...

Klavy you got my vote. I'm sick and tired of looking at perfect builds!

Just a few hours to go, no suspense at the front, but I'm crushing Jim and even coming close to David, ha!!!! :mrgreen: I’ve been losing every time I entered the contest with this crap MIP custom sand rail... That thing is a total pieceo, man... I'll give you 50 bucks for it, tops. Take it or leave...
