A few final pieces, such as steering link and Dragon aluminum wing mounts.

I just got home to this. I've been searching for a brand new Pit Wizard since 2017. This one is fresh out the wrapper, and includes an esc. I'm quite happy!

Note - I never realized how big these are. I was surprised by that.

I think I am finally getting close to starting this build. I have a few more parts coming, and then it's go time!

I think I'm set for one ways, lol.

I mounted up some wheels and tires. I also got a new body and wing from Penguin. The body was damaged however, so I am waiting on a replacement.

I'm finally getting this build moving again. I've had a hard time finding the correct size axles to fit with the MIP Shiny CVDs I have.

Slider. I decided to keep the black shock caps & collars for now. My XRT has them in purple, so I may switch to that, so they match.

Just need body, wing, and electronics. I put in this Kyosho stock motor. I've always liked the look of these motors. I love the look of these cars, but I wouldn't want to race one. So many weak areas, and the transmission is terrible. It was spinning smoothly in the case, but once installed on the c...

I finally found the correct axles to mount the shiny MIP cvds. Here they are next to the stock universals, that I polished. My XRT also has the shiny MIP cvds. They are very uncommon pieces on pretty uncommon models. The MIP drives are slightly longer than stock, and actually bottom out in the outdr...

Electronics have been added. No servo yet.

I was fortunate enough to acquire this NIB Traxxas TRX1 several months ago. The box and packaging are lovely. I really want to build it up, but so far I haven't been able to get myself to cut open the pristine sealed packages, filled with fresh 1991 air. I have also gathered some nice period upgrade...

The still sealed stock chassis and the Composite Craft chassis.

Do it do it do it or it’s just another box of parts

Nice. Can you share pictures of the one you built?

Damn! That thing look great. I like the paintwork. This is quickly becoming my favorite vintage car, next to the XX.
