My 20 Year Old Nitro Hawk Restore Project has come to a finish, i got the Nitro Hawk a year later after its debut for my 12th birthday in 1993... Im still going, got a few more to restore, ive been on a roll lately with the traxxas vintages... I did a Power Up Upgrade and sent in my original trx .12 and got a pro .15, rebuilt shocks, gave it a parts bath, 50% new screws & bolts, AND THE most important found the original decals and an Original Nitro Hawk Body reproduction on ebay took me awhile to get everything but it was all worth it!!! I was unhappy with my original restoration! so i found a version 1 (white plastic) Nitro Hawk on ebay, and got to work, i swapped the chassis out with my original bc my original chassis was in bad shape and i painted my original chassis, i aslo painted my MIP exhuast to match the engines heat sink. The version 1 chassis was almost mint... i restored my original hawk to MINT condition and restored the version 1 with spare parts & engine i had. Bought some new parts also like new fuel tank and new front bumper, fuel lines. And to finish the restoration i found an Original TRX Radio 2020 in mint condition on eBay and my beautiful restoration was complete there are so many things i did, pretty sure im missing a few from this list... lol
