Thanks for the heads up on the body issue I am facing. Awesome thread for the chassis, very nicely done! I will be doing some hole filling too. Houge chassis is 5.26oz (149g). and the slotted 4.22oz (120g). Got them stripped. Now start trying to acquire parts. 20230210_111010.jpg 20230210_111006.jpg...

The finest! The excitement when I found these two needed for a build..I have not been that excited in a while.

The crap I have in boxes around here!

Any suggestions on a body for one of these builds? Need to order a Double Dare body from TBG for another restoration and thought I would grab a buggy body for the Houge chassis build while I am at it.

Figured out gear and arm.

Wheelie bar of some kind?

Mystery pieces.

Appreciate the ideas and suggestions. Probably will go with a 6 gear period correct trans after checking the A and L Lethal Trans price. Sure looks sweet though! :shock: Suffering from sticker shock now as I haven't made any purchases for my RC car collection since doing my RC10 black/black driver a...

Interesting idea. Maybe I could take all of the best parts from both and make a buggy (personally preferred) then a truck out of the rest. Find 2 matching pink trinity front wheels...sounding kinda sweet! How hard would it be to find these 2 pink trinity wheels (RC 7431) for a build? Scoured Ebay an...

Shock 3 (RL)- This one was actually complete when I tore it down: 20230207_194015.jpg 20230207_194007.jpg Not tearing down the fourth shock as I am quite clear now on which is which. It has Duratrax on the front and Kyosho Gold on the rear. Duratrax shafts are 3.05mm and the Kyosho shafts are 2.96mm...

Lol. About the seals but not surprised. Had to get my phone out to get the picture enlarged enuf to see that its duratrax. Todd NOTE: RR Shcok :lol: But wait...THERE IS MORE! :lol: So I pulled off another shock (same chassis): 20230207_192024.jpg 20230207_192010.jpg Seems this one is missing the cl...

The silver shocks look to be the kyosho platinums as mentioned above. But yeah, the gold shocks look like they got the bevel/chamfer on the bottom of the shock body. That would make them duratrax. The bottom of a kyosho shock body will be sharp where the duratrax shock will have a slight bevel. The...

Thanks for the replies! Took a few more specific pics to help better determine. Will do some digging and see if they are Kyosho or Duratrax golds. Lower spring retainers on the bottom of the gold shocks do match the W5002 Kyosho Golds and the silvers do seem to match the Kyosho W5004s. OK, the chass...

Still digging on these. Red wheel chassis has Andy's front and "Houge* Enterprise" rear arms. Does this one have the RC10 Stealth front shock tower? Can't seem to ID the shocks as they are not the typical gold of the RC10-more of a bronze color. Rear bulkhead and shock tower seem standard ...

Thanks for the response. Did some checking and Revtech Sizzler sure seems right to me. It is marked with the "12" like you mentioned.
