You've got an early Coyote there. The plastic crown and pinion gears look to be in really good nick. Surprising, as by all accounts the plastic gears should have shredded with the power of that 540. :D I'm wondering if the gears were changed just prior to its retirement ,there was not a trace of de...

Had a few more deliveries, the Cells came with the Banana plugs and the body so I've soldered up the cells and now I'll design and print up some custom saddle cases that will clip into the original battery clips on the chassis sides. https://i.imgur.com/udasNfgl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0lp0RrHl.jpg ...

The front steering knuckles got an upgrade too with additional steering limiters and thicker steering arms . Older version on the left. https://i.imgur.com/LwkREtwl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YnLFtIll.jpg There may be a fifth material for the diff crown gear as well , not great pictures but the later p...

Simply jaw dropping , I love it

Nice progress ! Looks like somebody is already 3d printing those steering linkages https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3d-printed-reproduction-of-RK-5-Kyosho-Rocky-Turbo-Rocky-steering-bellcrank/153820642410?hash=item23d06cbc6a:g:Ba8AAOSwNQReOLps If it were me I might get one and use it to preserve the origi...

Every one deserves points this month

That diff is engineering art !

All will go well from this point , its had a Blood Sacrifice you have appeased the RC Gods , some builds require it

I know very little about early Traxxas cars but i know i like this one a lot , very tidy , well done .

Been meaning to do this for ages , it's a gear cover for the pinion and spur , it won't seal it all completely as it can't be sealed at the bottom of the chassis but it should stop crap raining down on the gears . https://i.imgur.com/2hUclQQl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZjOMTwTl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/...

I had some time to kill so i model'd up a copy of the front bumper mount from the slightly rough one i got recently . https://i.imgur.com/EFBSGZ4l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mMWZ679l.jpg I don't have a picture but after removing the support material witch came off in one piece i tried sitting the genui...

That's a good first run , that broken wing mount could be printed in TPU , its what i did for my dog fighter 3d printed replica and it worked well .

There's been tons of restorations on here but with this one its just so hard to believe its the same car ! really outstanding work !

The tires i ordered to run it with finally arrived yesterday so today she ran for the first time since the rebuild , the transmission sounds incredibly smooth ! its still running the silver can complete with the odd plastic pinion that came with it but it still ran with a nice enough pace with the 2...

Well won Blast
