Cheers guys, glad you like it - and thanks to those who helped by providing either input, or parts, and to Jake for selling me the base project, I hope this one makes him proud 8)

I'm sure it'd be a decent runner on an old-school track, albeit not a victory contender, let's not fool ourselves here :lol: I was initially planning to (lightly) run it, but there's a bit too much work and love involved in that build to warrant scratching Jake's finely crafted CWF deck... and I already have a runner TRX-1, so this one will remain on stands on the shelf for quite a while I'm afraid :oops:

Cheers guys - and let's all remember that Traxxas made some of the finest offroad racecars before going South a couple of decades ago :roll:

Alright... all of my pix on photokickit are gone, it sucks...

fortunately my friend Georges at overrc had done a little column on this car a few months back, with some cool pix, on his website www.overrc.com.

here's the link and a couple of pictures

(Merci Georges :) )
