A Duratrax Blast for my servo mount ESC collection.

It looks like I'll need a gearbox and motor plate, a front battery cup, and a body. Maybe some matching rims too. Other that that, its a nice little buggy.

1901 TRX-T. Had it on layaway at the LHS. Put my Blackfoot on the hobby shop "resale lot". That and lawn mowing money.....anyway.

Finally got some done on the graphite tub.

Thanks to a whole bunch of great friends I have been able to recreate my first rc. My Hornet had proline front tires, AJ's foam rears, a radio from my uncle that came with waterproof servos (that were waaaay too large for the chassis), and for some reason black tie rod ends on the steering. The body...
