Re: Best Budget Friendly Touring Platform Out Right Now

MST TRC is not a bad choice, I have had 2, and they are a surprisingly good FWD contender on the track thanks to their lightweight construction. Getting parts can be an issue indeed. Another good solution is to find a used top-notch mainstream TC from a few years back - Xray ages better than anythin...

Re: My First Affair

Thanks for sharing the update - yes, that body is too pretty to mount it on the standard, not so functional mounting system indeed!!! Looking forward to your final solution if any as I am rebuilding a shelfer (with a masterly-painted body... that someone else did for me too!) and a runner, so for th...

Re: Club 10 diff

Hello firends, Reviving an old thread and asking for help here - thanks in advance :) I am rebuilding my own Storm from last millenium. In the meantime I also bought another one for spares, which is proving to be almost new so it will go on the shelf once rebuilt too :mrgreen: Mine's diff was stuck ...

Re: My First Affair

Looking really good and an inspiration as I'm getting started on mine, I mean, my own from bitd! Has this reached completion in the end?

All the best,

Re: Feb'22: we're getting there (at last)... CWF (tub) and Shiny RC10

Then it needed to become black... Nylon dye works really really well actually. https://zupimages.net/up/22/05/e82n.jpg I love Novak's legendary orange, but Tony Neisinger started it ~40 years ago so please blame it on him rather than me :lol: To note: the black reveals a LOT of the imperfections on ...

Re: The car now stands on all fours... CWF (tub) and Shiny RC10

Hi folks Long overdue update on this project (wow, 1.5+ years)... Long story short, the cosmetics took a huge time to crack and much more work than expected. The mechanics were the easy part in the end :mrgreen: And some life events came in between, which didn't help :lol: First, a huge thanks to Do...

Re: Pistons that fit in older TRX shocks?

Hi Mark Thanks for your help - good to see some pillars of the forum still around. Appreciate the help on 1965's, thanks. My beef with the stock Pistons (which I have in my shocks) is that they have ZERO pack, even with the lowest-size "indent" one... So I was hopeful some more race-orient...

Pistons that fit in older TRX shocks?

Hello Friends, Does anyone know of readily (or not too hardly...) available pistons that work in the old-school (trx-1, Eagle and the likes) traxxas shocks? The AE pistons are bigger as I found out... the shock bodies are a very similar size outside but the thickness of the body is much higher on th...
