Finally going to start my LXT build. Mostly new parts including aftermarket parts. Just waiting for a couple items to get here and I can start. I had a nice used chassis to use then found this new one but it wasn't cheap.

That does look pretty classic!

Straight from a 1990 Tower Hobbies catalogue. Nicely done!

I figured there's a first for everything!

May your loins be fully engorged!

Ran the Brute and Outlaw Rampage just moments ago. Both started and ran great! Classic!

Nice score, and a steal at that!

Probably. Mostly children of the 70s and 80s on here!

Dropped an "F" load on parts just fir the body. I will have $115 in the body before its even painted, and that doesnt count the driver figure. These Assaults aint cheap to restore! Car has been shipped, its on its way :shock: They call it the Assault for a reason..... that's what it does ...

I did a similar mid motor conversion on a Jrx-Pro with great success. When swapping the motor plate, a hole for the top shaft will need drilled on the opposite side, as well as an opposing hole for the diff adjustment. Which also means that the diff will be rotated 180 degrees inside the transmissio...

Ooooooo... I can't wait for this. A Nitro Brute resto AND an Assault resto on this board in the same month? The 10 year old in me is going to explode!

Built the shocks and added the blue hinge mounts.

Still looks as cool to me now as they did in the catalogs BITD! Nice job!

It is almost invisible, don't fret

I agree, it looks fine. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.
I also don't see any step in the paint from the decals being applied under the paint. The decal edge is completely invisible. Good job!!

Thought I’d do a quick stocktake of my LeMans Motors: 1 x 240SB NIB 1 x 240T NIB 2 x 240ST 1 in Optima, 1 in Turbo Mid SE 1 x 360ST in Turbo Optima And I thought I’d have a look at the Pegasus that I have had for years awaiting a tidy up and too my surprise https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7814/324011...
