The Radicator however, lowered the purchase price while still providing a race ready platform. It accomplished ...

Losi basically repurposed a rotary damper back in the day. Hydra-Drives are awesome... but they work nothing like a torque converter.

Cool you found the instructions. MarkyDents posted 'em here too: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=46326 Regarding their operation, they're both fluid couplings but they operate on opposing principals... The Hyrdra-Drive's straight vaned impeller and housing use fluid viscosity to dampen the ...

What you have there is a JRX-2 with a JG mfg Monster truck conversion mount kit. JRX-T Wheels, RPM JRXT rear arms, later model JRX bellcranks, and a incredibly nice condition slipper/Hydra Drive upgrade. Isn't it though? An early Pat. Pend. one with the white fill & bleed screws too, plus a swe...

In 1990 Traxxas was busy advertising its truck line as the segment of the hobby was growing at a rapid pace: Blue Eagle: Released in 1990 just months after the original Eagle, the Blue Eagle included all of the upgrades that allowed Tom Owens to take first place at the 1990 NORRCA Off-Road Champions...

Are you talking about:

9580 caster blocks
9581 steering blocks
9584 rear hub carriers

They're all over ebay... like $7 bucks a pair... NIP... shipped...

Happy to help. Most parts for the T4 are going to come from ebay rather than Amain or Horizon. Some sellers have their own websites/brick-n-mortar stores you can shop at and sometimes save a buck too.

In 1991 Traxxas released the next evolution of their racing truck, the Blue Eagle LS. The new LS (which stood for Long Suspension) carried over a number of key parts from the previous Blue Eagle, such as the transmission, front and rear bulkheads, graphite shock towers, shocks, bellcrank steering an...

In 1991 Traxxas introduced its all-new pro-level 1/10 scale 2wd race buggy, dubbed, the TRX-1. Gone was the "upgrade it to race spec" philosophy of the Radicator and in its place, a vehicle that was only minor components away from being 100% new. Every race part Traxxas had was poured into...

Wondered across this while searching for other cool things... from the December 1990 issue of RCCA... no backspacing info, but has wheels weights, should your graph need another column :D Wheels Round Up 1.jpg Wheels Round Up 2.jpg Wheels Round up 3.jpg Wheels Round Up 4.jpg Wheels Round Up 5.jpg Wh...

Chassis came out looking really nice.



Serendipitously cool that without the gold centers the wheels look a lot like old Foresight Drag Mags

Shapeways is bankrupt and no longer doing business. The website is still there but no one is there to support it. Something's up with Shapeways... what company goes bankrupt and leaves the site up like it's business as usual. :? Didn't know you'd scaled one of the front body mounts up before, very ...
