This will be a TRX1 built with modern electronics and setup for modern tracks. I am still trying to learn all of the intricacies of the TRX1 cars, but I know I lucked out with the donor car I bought for this build. The donor was built quite well, and had some really nice upgrades already. I could ha...

I don't know these cars well, so this may be a dumb question. Is that the AE stealth transmission? Or was the Traxxas that similar? My first thought when I saw that was did Traxxas sue AE for pre-emptively copying their design :lol: Hey. No, it's not a Stealth transmission. However it sure looks si...

^ Chewbacca - Thank you for your suggestions. Like my other modern racer builds, I will build it up to be as capable and track ready as I can. This includes making sure connections are bind free, slop free, lightened where possible, and strong enough to run. Whether I will ever get it to the track t...

With help from TRX1-3, I believe the aluminum rear pivot blocks are made by Fast Lane. The wing mounts are Revolution. The outdrives are Traxxas. I don't know who did the front carbon brace. I built up some nice FT shocks. I thought the Kashima bodies would fit well with the color of the motor plate.

Working on the wiring. Trying to keep things clean as usual. Also cleaned up the esc as best I could.

Which wheels are you thinking about? I see these JC Racing wheels for Traxxas that explicitly say in the listing "do not fit the TRX-1", which perplexes me. What do they fit, then? I have these wheels that came with the donor. I believe they are Traxxas? I was thinking of dying them black...

These cool looking reproduction Trinity XX4 pieces.

Really great build. I love the shocks!

Thanks to both above replies. I have added this Factory Works top plate. The material is different to the chassis, and more glossy. I very lightly sanded it and blacked the edges to try to make it match better. Making clearance for the servo arm with the top plate in place is challenging. I had to u...

I've added this aluminum front plate.

The donor car came with this painted body. It's quite nice, but unfortunately not my favorite colors. I will be painting up a new body for it. I added the new Penguin wing.

A crap load of great vintage decals. I love decals.

^ RCveteran - Yeah the guy I bought it from said it had gone back and forth a few times. It was very well built. I really like the paintwork, but the colors aren't a great match for the car now. I threw on the white wheels, and I think they need to be dyed black. I think I will also order a set of J...

Excited about these little beauties.

Very happy to find another black can modified B&R. I had to trade my other one a few years ago, and have been searching for a replacement ever since. This one is even nicer!
