I'm such a sucker for carbon, Back in the day it was so exclusive and hard to get.
Paul Sims at Bezerk sorted me out, and custom cut a shorty lipo cradle to suit the factory drill pattern too.
Did a great job

Lawn tractor you say? I know what I'd model it after....

And this is what it will look like when finished .......

Does it need an antenna poking through the body or not?

Electronics wired up and tested. Speed control is a Hobbywing V3.1. When I originally bought it long ago it was listed as a standard V3.1 but when it came it was the waterproof version :roll: The waterproof version has a super short sensor cable epoxied in, external switch and a pigtail fan lead. I ...

Top turnbuckles have the Punisher look, could be authentic... or could be from any one of the numerous companies that make the exact same style these days.

Bottom turnbuckles would be from Thunder Tiger. Tecnacraft didn't machine a thread orientation groove into the body of their turnbuckles.

Traxxas released their Radicator 1/10th 2wd electric buggy in 1989 as an evolution of the Bullett released in 1988. The Bullet was Traxxas' third vehicle and first competition level buggy. The Radicator however, lowered the purchase price while still providing a race ready platform. It accomplished ...

In 1990 Traxxas was busy advertising its truck line as the segment of the hobby was growing at a rapid pace: Blue Eagle: Released in 1990 just months after the original Eagle, the Blue Eagle included all of the upgrades that allowed Tom Owens to take first place at the 1990 NORRCA Off-Road Champions...

Traxxas proudly advertising their National Championship winning truck and buggy in 1992: Blue Eagle LS: released in 1991 the Blue Eagle LS (Long Suspension) was an evolution that resulted in a nearly all new race truck. It sported a new .25in. longer graphite chassis with 30 degree kickup, longer su...

Finally fixed the broken photobucket links.........only took 10 years....lol.

Gear diffs were introduced back into race buggies due to the high torque of brushless motors and the high grip smooth surfaces a lot of places use these days. Most race buggies will come with a gear diff, with a ball diff being an option. Any competition on road car will have gear diffs only. The ch...

Beyond happy to have received this. I didn't even know they came in purple from the factory.

In 1991 Traxxas introduced its all-new pro-level 1/10 scale 2wd race buggy, dubbed, the TRX-1. Gone was the "upgrade it to race spec" philosophy of the Radicator and in its place, a vehicle that was only minor components away from being 100% new. Every race part Traxxas had was poured into...

Would be good to see if someone with a "gritty" diff tried new diff/thrust balls Swapped over to traditional thrust plates / balls, and it made no difference. Going to swap back in the new style, and just start swapping parts individually until some improvement is witnessed. All parts app...
