Definitely looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Awesome collection of parts so far.

My contribution; a freshly built Ultima SB Dirtmaster. RB5 based and rear motor, so already more "retro" than the current crop of buggies out there. I built it as a nod to the Javelin, so some red Exotek alloy bits on RB6 Velvet shocks, a few RB series parts like lightened top shaft and sl...

I’m not a big fan of the JRXT 3pc wheels.. Instead, I’m using a new set of orange Junior T 1pc wheels. https://i.postimg.cc/zGJ2LVRm/B6887-F64-FAD2-48-FE-8434-79-C3776-A0-E72.jpg New front stagger rib and rear 10 row spike tires. https://i.postimg.cc/Fsbnsjzg/89-D4-FF1-B-0474-4399-87-D3-A263-E3-A0-D...

Huge shoutout to Larry Doe for all of this help in making this replica as accurate as possible. Still need to add the IFMAR tech decals, number plate and chassis protector but she's 99% of the way there.

Thanks

They look like they came out in the 80's..... and have been out, loud and proud ever since

As soon as I saw those cells I thought of this motor.

As soon as you mentioned hunting down an XL-3, I knew you would find one! No doubt in my mind. That is rad. Looking forward to another immaculate Lavigna build!

If you could find blue decal material I bet that would fit the part, wrap the receiver like an Xmas present . That's what it looks like to me.

If there is a sign shop around somewhere near you, like a "FastSigns" or maybe a place that wraps cars. They often have scrap vinyl of various colors and thicknesses (talking "mils") that they might let you sift through. Or they might sell you a foot of it off a roll. 3M makes al...

This build makes me jealous, it is so awesome finding one like that

Threw on some decals that I referenced from a couple original photos from BITD using MCI decals and took some pics, I am not much of a photographer and the lighting isn’t great but almost there…..next stop electronics… Quick question, has anyone ever created replica battery cells using sub c 1.2v ce...

I definitely have a problem stray, neglected cats just keep turning up on my doorstep
And carbon chassis number 2 aswell as another set of small bore threaded beauties

Chris (The "A" in Team A&L) has a bunch of lexan ordered and has been getting the molds ready. It won't be long until we see some new old bodies for the first time in many years. He also has many Losi and Traxxas molds since A&L were the producers of them back in the day. I will tr...

That Flash motor would look real nice on a Hot Trick!

All Chassis parts cut and shipped.
