Pretty awesome Jeff! Keeping vintage alive and well.

Love it!

Pulled the Kyosho Triumph off the shelf and squished the shocks a few times.

Sorry, should have clarified that I'm using the Image .12, but the same bell part numbers are used with all N Hawk long crank engines (Image, TRX .12, TRX .15). Traxxas diagrams all show the same 20T bell part number for .12 and .15 long crank (#3120), but have #4120 listed for short crank applicati...

Will clutch bells from other makes/models fit the Nitro Hawk/Buggy/Street, or are their long crank clutch bells proprietary? For example, will #4120 fit (bell for n rustler/pede), or a bell for 10GT? Guessing 10GT used standard sized bearings and is likely a no, but what about others that used metric?

Yes, I had planned on using Advanced Precision. Thanks for the feedback!!! That blue also looks darker than I had hoped.

Maybe I'll give Electro-Chem or Apex a call. Apex appears to be a larger industrial shop and might not cater to my small project. But, we'll see...

Mine are all early gen blue. Although I do have a NIP pair of teal 'electric blue' caps that may or may not be helpful to you. Send me a PM if they could help. I think the teal 'electric blue' was introduced later, around the time they started introducing the black nylon... Maybe '95 ish... Here are...

Will bright dip make them ultra-bling, or will it make them look box stock. I'm hoping for a box stock look and afraid of getting something too flat or too bling.

I'm going to be re-anodizing a couple sets of Traxxas blue shock bodies and caps for my TRX1 and N Hawk. I'm trying to determine if they should be 'type II' soft anodized or 'type III' hard anodized. Also trying to determine if they'll need to be bright dipped to get the proper OEM-style finish. Any...

Baxter, our 1.5 year old Boxer. Such a good boy. Love him to death, but also one of the single biggest pains in my @ss!

Picked up my 3rd Nitro Nawk. I had no choice. Nostalgia got the best of me! The Nitro Chicken was my first nitro, and first stadium truck as a teenager. Mine was an early gen-1 with Image engine and aluminum recoil housing. Man I loved that truck! Faster than the Hornet, Raider, and RC10 I had befor...

I also just cleaned up an old JR's Choice motor. The MCI decal for this motor is pretty clean. Not a perfect match, but pretty good. Much better than their Losi Double Trouble motor decal that I also picked up from them. The pink doesn't match well.

Another great resource:

Tons of history and parts compatibility for the JRX platform.

Anyone know the differences between the Traxxas Image .12 and TRX .12 engines? Parts interchangeable?
