Like TRX-1-3 said, 100% dyeable.

Alright chassis is together! PXL_20241008_124310872_C46nFyGI9L.jpeg PXL_20241008_124331431_2X3eGqbF2O.jpeg First white part is a silly one, but I dig it! Rear hub spacer.

Could it be that whacky Traxxas Snap-on 1920's Sprint Car Replica that is totally, wholly, and solely manufactured and distributed by Traxxas and only Traxxas?

That's the one!

@TRX-1-3 : you're next.

Thanks. They fit really well.

Best edition...not an opinion..Fact!

Orange and purple stuff. 8) Novak.jpg Novak ESC with cans. Not enough orange! ESC.jpg All this wiring for damn brushless? Motor.jpg Front width with the DT02 wheels is around 254mm. I have some BMAX2 wheels that take a 5x10mm bearing that I'll try. Rear width is 245mm with the Yokomo setup. Seeing o...

Something about dirt, tires, motor spray, solder flux, hot electronics smells all mixed together...you know what I'm talking about. If it was a candle scent it would be called "at the track". Very true. I recently bought some discontinued tires off eBay, NIP. When they arrived they smelle...

On that subject, this was pretty watchable. Not to hijack the thread.

Let's open it up in the future to a vehicle that you don't necessarily own, I was just hoping it would make people offer more factual info if it was in front of them. Sometimes memories of what people say 30 years ago in person and not since are groggy.

Been getting progress done on a buddy's Team car he's had since about '91-'92. Old plastic servo saver just shat the bed and made for a good stopping point I suppose. Unfortunately, his 30+ year old Topaz is alotta bit weak and only turns around 24k rpm at 7.2 volts after being cleaned up nice with ...

Alright, we're in the home stretch! I'm getting excited and sad as I get close to wrapping this up. I've really enjoyed this trip back in time, and now that I've done my two favorite cars from my time racing, I'm not sure anything else will come close for me. Now that the majority of the chassis is ...

I must keep running into post picture limits. Just needed a few more to wrap up today's progress. For the tires, I have to thank jcwrks for trading me for the correct fronts. Rears will prove to be a bit more challenging, but until I can track down the Flat Stubbies, a set of XTR Pro-82's will take ...
