Toy move-in day!

They're direct steering, so just need a large after market servo saver (Kimbrough, etc), links and ball cups. Standard Tamiya ball studs are 5mm. You'll need to measure the rod lengths. But any 4-40 should do (generic cut-to-length, pre-cut titanium, etc).

Oh wait, I need to clarify... Tamiya uses metric hardware. If you're using the existing previously installed kit ball cups that have already been threaded to Tamiya rods, then you'll want to use metric rods, not 4-40. If you're using brand new cups, then you can use either 3mm (metric) or 4-40 (stan...

Just because we all love pictures...

Man, nitro was awesome back then!

Because we all love pictures! Nothing else... bye-bye for now.

OK... another one for fun.

OK, let's get crazy.

All of the Pro and Pro SE threads this week inspired me to pull this project down off the shelf again.

I love it!!!

Did you replace the battery box foam too, or was the existing foam still in good shape?

So cool... Nicely done!

Had to take a step back to take a few steps forward. Disassembled to install new rear tower and new Jammin' front suspension kit.

Looks like the old tower on my car was a two-hole Jammin' tower, but the spindle carriers were standard.

Old parts on left, new Jammin' parts on right...

Jammin' spindle carriers look like the LXT carriers.

Now it's looking legit!

Back at it tonight... time for a LRM diff.
