Maybe if I come across enough FX10 parts for another build, I'll put one together with a blue GTP body on it and straws on the shocks. TBH, that would be pretty cool. :wink: I think I may have run across my opportunity to do this!! I just got off the phone with an older gentlemen who has a FX10 on ...

Added translucent RPM 7031 Up-travel limiters to the rear and Bud's wing mounts. I used a small JG shock shaft spacer on the lower rear rod end since it has the pivot ball. At least it's a slider now.

I got this one on Amazon after my HFT model just stopped working one day. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B1D3VBCQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I think it does a little better job than the HFT one, but that may just be in my head. I like that it is all metal, and the timer ...

Stripped the old worn anodizing off, prepped, painted and cleared the Traxxas SRT motor guard & plate. Now need to wet sand and buff. Really liking this color.

Installed some new parts on my 5-link ProSE.. RPM front spindles and uprights to compliment the RPM swept front arms. Also a set of 1.5” Kinwald blue springs for the .6 front shocks. https://i.postimg.cc/N0PRYd2r/5882-FDD0-BD7-C-49-A4-929-F-9-CC2-D0025804.jpg And a nice Trinity Maxzilla battery pack...

I like it - front servo for weight

Last night I started working on whatever TH this thing is. I think I have figured out about half of it, but it is soon going to get real uncomfortable for the driver.

These girls are besties now!

Well, I don't see any Mississippi Leg-Hound in there, so that's good.

No Foghorn Leghound?

Decided to take the Factory Works comical chassis out of it's bag and strap some parts to it. More to come later but since the parts car had JRX-T wheels on it decided to see how silly a Mini JRX-T body looks on it. fun fact it's almost the same wheelbase just ALOT wider.

It's kinda got a cartoony effect going on. Being on a comical chassis I think it counts. Maybe the body could be moved back slightly and cut so it'd sit lower with the towers poking out to get the fully adorkable appearance? Left alone if it's being enjoyed as is? ...Mr. Owl would have the answer.....

Team KNK also distributes FanRC which is the company selling the reproduction parts. Looks like $15 for them plus shipping https://teamknkhardware.com/fan-rc/1791-front-arm-mount.html Oh this is perfect! I didn't see them on the KNK site when I bought the hardware. Much easier than going through so...

Isn't that Factory Works? @GoMachV ?

It turns out that the Orion battery is actually a RC-1700 (late '97) pack and not SCRC. Fortunately I had a spare pack of Trinity EXR178 Ex-Tech cells. CC-RPM-Worlds24 (Large).jpg CC-RPM-Worlds26 (Large).jpg I was able to get the Futaba 9101 servo mounted up. For the small Kimbrough saver I had to u...
