I think I am finally satisfied with the condition to which I have gotten this thing. Got the electronics dialed in. I was going for a clean layout. I soldered the motor plug off the esc at a reverse angle for wire control purposes. The esc platform is a hacked up original TRX-T Eagle rear shock towe...

Hey thanks gentlemen. I was thinking about which body to run on this. I just dug out a TBG re-pop and trimmed it regular except for leaving the entire rear portion on. I just trimmed some clearance for some rod ends and the gear cover. It just looks like some stealth bubble pod back there. And I swa...

Picture Test:

20180517_200517.jpg With some shocks mounted up on servo mounts and the motor plate and 17.5 HobbyWing it'll be utilizing. Start it out with a 78S/30P with the factory 2.14:1 final drive...yields a 1.21:1. Is that math right? Driven ÷ Drive, etc. Yeah? So that's 1.21 motor spins for 1 wheel spin. T...

I tend to over-use this one, but: SCHWING!!!

Super Rad.

Well, phooey on that. In a strange way it's nice to see these getting broken on dirt.

Don't run a Thorp gearset on turf with the slipper locked out either. There is probably a quicker way to grenade a top gear, but I haven't found one.

Neat stuff JK.

RC Screwz puts out a decent SS screw kit. Its for the TCP but it totally workz. https://m.ebay.com/itm/TRAXXAS-TCP-1-10TH-BUGGY-RC-SCREWZ-STAINLESS-STEEL-SCREW-SET-TRA028-/201509958513 For reference. EDIT: The only screw not in this kit is the little transmission plug screw for the differential adju...

I just got the RPM front arms, but shimmed back like yours, I hit the chassis :( - but the bigger problem is the arms are longer than the stock TRX1 arms, making the front end too wide overall, almost a complete inch (20mm or so) wider than my other cars (legal width). How did you combat the width ...

The elusive TRX-1 front bumper!!!!! Drat!!

Nice "haul". 5 hours worth.

Maybe a gas can or a spare tire/wheel assembly?

I am an ignorant Traxxas guy and even I can see this DS build is off the chain!!!! I always thought of Pantera's as a poor man's Lambo, or a melt your face metal band. But this bad mambajamba is a melt your face super-build. Super tastefully executed. If you're like me, you carry this thing from roo...

Well if you're not tired of seeing poor quality pictures of reconfigured TRX-1's with "up-cycled" bodies and parts: Here you go!!!

Nice work scr8p.
