Sorry it took some time, knew I had it somewhere. Just took a while to find somewhere

Ok thanks to Jason I received the last 2 items I needed to start.

Slider. I decided to keep the black shock caps & collars for now. My XRT has them in purple, so I may switch to that, so they match.

Just need body, wing, and electronics. I put in this Kyosho stock motor. I've always liked the look of these motors. I love the look of these cars, but I wouldn't want to race one. So many weak areas, and the transmission is terrible. It was spinning smoothly in the case, but once installed on the c...

I finally found the correct axles to mount the shiny MIP cvds. Here they are next to the stock universals, that I polished. My XRT also has the shiny MIP cvds. They are very uncommon pieces on pretty uncommon models. The MIP drives are slightly longer than stock, and actually bottom out in the outdr...

Electronics have been added. No servo yet.

An evil twin happened...

I was fortunate enough to acquire this NIB Traxxas TRX1 several months ago. The box and packaging are lovely. I really want to build it up, but so far I haven't been able to get myself to cut open the pristine sealed packages, filled with fresh 1991 air. I have also gathered some nice period upgrade...

The still sealed stock chassis and the Composite Craft chassis.

Serpent has M3 4.5mm pivot balls. But they are open top with 2mm hex....

Looking really good sankil!
Love the work you have done with the dremel on those front arms, all I need is the courage to do the same!
What front inner hinge pin did you use? They look perfect! I used the front truck ones Associated 7209, and well they are about 3mm too long.

Serpent has M3 4.5mm pivot balls. But they are open top with 2mm hex.... Screenshot_20230131_162110_Samsung Internet.jpg Nice! You think that the inner pivots are 4.5 rather than 5.8? Yokomo aint my "ball park" so I find it hard identifying the different sizes/models of hardware. Trying t...

Original RC10 shock end pivot balls were ~5.8mm. The ballstuds were 4.3mm.

I shuffled some parts around and now can move forward on another one of these. I couldn't do the chassis mods i typically like to do because they were already redone in blue. The only thing I did do was move the servo forward to get a little more weight on the nose. The nose plate had been on my b1....

Amazing work sankil, It look like you really are going to town with this! I fantasise with finding a set of bottom load shock bodies for this, 1.02 and 1.32 and getting them and the caps all hard anodised. It's not going to happen! :lol: The front springs are a funny thing I have 3 different sets of...
