Very cool that it's your actual truck from way back when. Looking forward to the progress, as I've always kinda wanted to get one of these (or a Hawk 2) to do a rebuild. I've kept an eye out for some time now and have actually passed on a couple that looked like good candidates for a rebuild. The Ha...

Excellent build, its a beauty. Would also look killer with blue wheels, but the black is just as good or better. Indeed it's much better with electronics in my opinion, especially with what's chosen, fantastic. Anything for a servo?

Looking great! This is making me want to put some electronics in mine. Do it! Just don't enter yours in the same build of the month as I do. I don't want you taking all the votes for anyone who would vote for a Pro XRT just because one shows up to the party :lol: Which old school Le Mans motor that...

Beautiful job once again!

Bouncing between rod work and the Jurassic Park diorama today. Was able to get all the trees/jungle background done. I used a method model railroaders use. Clipped some dead branches off one of my juniper bushes out back, stripped the needles, put some poly fiber in spots on it and spray adhesive. T...

I figured out what I wanted to do with the nose tubes. Attaching them to my steering servo mount ended up being a simple solution. I also built up and installed a set of CVD axles. All that's left is to install the electrics and go driving. . PXL_20220704_021440309.jpg . PXL_20220704_021600351~2.jpg

Much thanks to Ed for the white spring retainers/locators that look great resting up against his shock clamps. Much better than the large black spring retainers pictured in the previous post.

I had to scramble to get my phone out mid entrance ramp. Also looking through window tint. But I thought it was cool looking

Because I was told to do so lol

I'm going to put that nice looking graphite back together after I tear it down and clean it up.

Here is a before pic

Freshened up 240S. All new Kyosho springs, Trinity brushes, bearings, 19T single armature and MCI decal. I bought this motor on ebay and it unfortunately came with a double wind armature, the 240S is a 19T single motor. I came across a brand new Trinity/Epic 19x1 armature so I picked it up for this ...

Motor spring tension tool arrived.

Electronics done and working smoothly. Just need to find the ideal place to mount the ESC on/off switch.

OK. Now it's telling me to build it. I finally found a SWB chassis and I want to build it on that. However, after much scrutinizing of the eBay pics of the one with the SWB chassis that I "won", I failed to notice that the steering post mounting holes in the chassis have been enlarged and ...
