I’m not really interested in the second market aspect. Even though I agree that it’s going to appreciate in value. I’d just be keeping a kit out of someone else’s hands that may actually want to build and enjoy the car. I’d likely just stash it in a closet and forget about it until no one wants one ...

What would be interesting?

Almost anything besides gimmicky 6 gear short arm cars.

OK OK even I got caught up in the last MIP "announcement". Should have known. .... Unlike Mr. Moore, Jeff won't hype us up and then put out a quick release screwdriver handle instead of this kit.... I knew there would eventually be a place to put this..... CB1_SP1C.jpg Great project, GoMa...

I love running 1/10 scale buggies on outdoor dirt tracks. Looks like you had a blast!!!

This may be a dumb and silly question but would any of this work with the DS? I just had a silly idea of making a 4wd touring car out of a car that existed before touring cars became a thing. Obviously different cvds would be needed.

I think you should run the softest t-bar on the street that you can find as traction on the street is generally always lacking. If you start picking up the inside front wheel or have too much rear traction then start to look at going to a stiffer t-bar

If using the GT/DS servo saver with the nose plate in the long wheelbase configuration, you should attach the bellcranks/servo saver to the front holes (you might have to tap them, 8-32). Then use 1/4" (100*) screws to attach the nose plate to the chassis.

Amazing kit

wow! that looks great Mark! Nicely done!

Now im thinking I need to do some wheel halves with 12mm hex for the front haha

You really need to read up on our FAQ and parts list to get the full idea of what we did but it uses a stealth diff up front and will have, as with every 4wd, slightly less steering than a 2wd, but the same as a Kyosho optima or similar 4wd of the era. As the maker of this conversion, I can say whol...

The bellcranks can be trimmed down to make for extra steering angle. This may void the non-existent 4.1 warranty, but the cranks are made of ~5.3mm thick nylon, so some trimming isn't going to hurt anything IMO. I haven't broken out the angle finders or anything, but my FR01 Ten4.1 is in the ballpar...

I dig that paint job, very retro ish.

I'm gonna have a hard time admitting that one.

They didn't have to spend a lot on R&D costs.... :lol: Too soon :lol: I spoke with Curtis yesterday, we are all good. Ultimately they did what I wanted to do- molded parts, refinements, etc that only a company with money could do. I like what they did (maybe not the way they went about it, lol)...

That's definitely taking the high road. You must not have gone to the Traxxarse School of RC Business. Glad to have you around though. Hop...
