First gen fantom didn’t have front springs. The more popular MKII did. Really just depends on what they copied. This car more resembles a first gen, but I suspect they will add things such as the front springs. Rear suspension was simply chassis flex as with most pan cars of the day. The chain wasn...

This is the least shrewd BST rules shunt I have ever seen! :lol: If so, how was it as compared to the 411 and similar Tekin models? I’m looking to get one. Where should I look? Thanks! man - if you're looking to get one, try eBay. that's your best bet. Otherwise please contribute to this forum and w...

Some will say I see evil everywhere ...

I was able to make some progress in the past few days, but not to document it that much - trying to catch up now :) I took a (short) break from problem-solving to pick a motor for this shelfer - it had to be black and silver, these were the two that got shortlisted from the stash, a TMH stocker and ...

Shocks, some bottom loaders - nothing special, they just went through a rebuild - They have #3 pistons F/R, but again, for shelf duties, this will be ok :wink: previously polished by the previous owner - not perfect but I don't have the gear to make it better, so it's close enough and will be discre...

I think the shocks look perfect as they are -- they complement the body posts. metal appearance.jpg A few minutes with some Mothers or Nevr-Dull metal polish would have made them look like mirrors but I think they look great just as they are. Less is more. It's also cool that you've found a matching...

Click here for the latest mid motor rustler design _______________ Hi everybody! Over the past two years or so I've been having some fun with the 2wd Traxxas platform. It all started when I got burned out on racing. I took a break from racing for a while and when I got back into it I wanted to do i...

Thanks for all the positive comments so far :) I've had to slow down on this build due to other priorities, and also have not updated this for a few days now, but overall more progress was made. Some setbacks, too :lol: I had kept this servo for this build. This was run on my MBX6's a few years back...

The chassis is stiff as hell (as losi would say!) but still needs to be braced at the front. I totally forgot I had some custom nose tubes reserved for this build, so I murdered another NIB set :roll: The tubes are held to the tub by these funny brackets which, miraculously, I hadn't misplaced all t...

More NiB parts 8) https://images2.imgbox.com/ea/03/ccmgBKb6_o.jpg I have also just purchased another Worlds Car a few months ago, which was a hybrid of re-re and original parts... I will give it the neo-retro later on, and it had a perfect-looking CWF battery brace, which I stole for this build. The...

She is getting there, just waiting on a few more parts.

Thanks guys. That sure was a nail biter.. How often can you hear that "you have a awesome willy.." ? lol.. It could have gone one of a few ways for sure. Egalsim's car is awesome, as is Trass's. I really liked those as well. Any of us could have taken the lead. But, I will pass it along to...

The home made CF really needs a thread of its own to do it justice ! Thanks Dadio! I never actually thought about that. I just see it as another step in the process. If I ever finish this project maybe I'll make a post about the CF! :lol: I got a couple more things done on the car throughout the we...

The easiest and most original way to do a comparable conversion would be to take the transmission of the nitro hawk or nitro buggy and create a custom motorplate to accommodate the electric motor. - I still haven't seen anyone else out there making a proper mid motor Traxxas conversion. Even the goo...
