I am thrilled to say that I found this NIB Traxxas XL-3 controller. This was the final piece I have been looking for, and should fit this car just right.

Black 8-32 aluminum screws and 4-40 lock nuts are from Fasteners Express.

However I am going to stick with the stock gears and dif. I will be using the A&L outdrives and bones, but stock slipper. I noticed the part...

Chris (The "A" in Team A&L) has a bunch of lexan ordered and has been getting the molds ready. It won't be long until we see some new old bodies for the first time in many years. He also has many Losi and Traxxas molds since A&L were the producers of them back in the day. I will tr...
