Please don't feel like you have to do anything here. I have no negative feelings about what went down in the past, or what I have in my possession. Having said that, if you have the 6877 edge tires, I'd definitely be interested in a trade. I love the wide fives, but feel like they're wasted on me. ...

Stealth time! Sorry, I didn't get many photos of this part. I got into a groove and was just wrenching away. PXL_20241007_221911982_lsAeapoi52.jpeg Added the rear arms to the bottom plate and installed the trans and motor plate. Slight change to the instructions here, too. PXL_20241008_115241692_8Fa...

If you aren't planning on using the Protoform Ripper X CR body and would consider selling it, I would be very interested. I've been hunting for an original for a while.

Alright chassis is together! PXL_20241008_124310872_C46nFyGI9L.jpeg PXL_20241008_124331431_2X3eGqbF2O.jpeg First white part is a silly one, but I dig it! Rear hub spacer. It was black in my later B2 kit back in the day. PXL_20241008_124351830_14L3qcwv01.jpeg Time to build the best shocks in the indu...

Orange and purple stuff. 8) Novak.jpg Novak ESC with cans. Not enough orange! ESC.jpg All this wiring for damn brushless? Motor.jpg Front width with the DT02 wheels is around 254mm. I have some BMAX2 wheels that take a 5x10mm bearing that I'll try. Rear width is 245mm with the Yokomo setup. Seeing o...

With the B-MAX2 front wheels, the front width is now 245mm, same as the rear. Just enough clearance from the Yokomo rod ends and arms throughout steering movement.

I got a DuraNovakTrax M5 from mikea96 that was a takeoff from a buggy he's building. Thanks Mike! I did a little wiring cleanup of some old splices. It's a nice little unit. I think I have an extra heat sink somewhere too. . 1000015190.jpg . I also picked up a nice Pit Wizard for a decent price. I e...

I must keep running into post picture limits. Just needed a few more to wrap up today's progress. For the tires, I have to thank jcwrks for trading me for the correct fronts. Rears will prove to be a bit more challenging, but until I can track down the Flat Stubbies, a set of XTR Pro-82's will take ...

A friend that's getting rid of his RC stuff sent me a pile of vintage stickers. Stickers are my favorite way to fix my paint jobs!

Box-art paintwork by @AttackRC now done.

Amain was (is?) closing out some toy grade stuff, took a gamble on them since they didn't have much for pics or reviews. This entire lot was under $100, and while shipping wasn't free I did make another purchase that qualified so the entire lot shipped for free. Pretty impressed with the quality for...

Big thanks to 8rad for some 3.5# front springs and very nice Jrx front arms! Need to find some yellow and pink rear springs, but this is coming along now!

Transmission time.... Old grey idler and ceramic bearings 20241029_235033.jpg 7075 aluminum top shaft to lighten the rotational load, and since I bought the wrong slipper eliminator I had to drill a new hole in the top shaft. 20241029_235104.jpg Slipper eliminator fits well and is pretty minimalisti...
