Yes it is definitely rare in the condition that you have purchased it. I would be hard pressed to run that because unlike a tub or graphite chassis, it easy to rash up, which significantly reduces it's value. The steering enhancement kit alone sells for a bunch so I wouldn't want to risk breaking th...

I think you mean Traxxas.

Yeah I dunno, I've just chalked it up as another zany Japanese thing.

Very cool find! The car kit is indeed reasonably rare, the truck kit was released at the height of the truck racing craze and overshadowed the buggy kit sales by quite a bit. As far as making it a runner, personally I would choose something else but that is up to you. If you have any questions, plea...

Do you happen to have a parts list of what came in the kit? Do you know the years of release? How was yours fitted out when it raced? Thanks. [/quote] We dropped the buggy kit from the 95 catalog so my guess would be 93-94 but would have to do some research to know for sure. I raced it pretty much s...

The QC PASS sticker is the icing on that cake

Well you know, giant scars are quality.. we never mentioned what level the quality was though

2 packages of awesomeness arrived today. Rear motor guards from RPM and some fresh cut gems from Factory Works. That chassis plate just might spare a T2 chassis from getting a front bob job done to it in my B1.5 project. But those peculiar holes on the sides of the chassis. What could be done with t...

A small upgrade with this Trinity rear bulkhead brace.

Did you get to meet Richard? Yes and he was extremely generous with his time. He took about 1 1/2 hours out of his day to show me the factory and the process of parts creation from mold creation though packaging. That process is intense. I also got to hear a lot of stories about the early days in r...

Because I was told to do so lol

I'm going to put that nice looking graphite back together after I tear it down and clean it up.

Here is a before pic

Rebuilt Kyosho Le Mans 240S with new bearings, Kyosho LM7 240 springs, Trinity Speed SPEC Brush ID Shunt Dual Face brushes, and a brand new Trinity/Epic 19T single wind armature. Decal is a MCI racing repro. "Broke in" the brushes at about 2 volts for 20 minutes, then let it cool down. Tes...

The Tamiya VW New Beetle FWD FF01. I never expected this one to put a big smile on my face. Item number is 58217 and originates back from 1998. I finally fixed a broken steering block that kept me running the Beetle for a decade. This one is fun! Looks fun and drives fun for anyone--even with a simp...

I assume that most of us can relate.
