What are you doing with the orange dyed parts Scot? Die them black or keep them alternative?
i'm not to shure yet. i have too many black now. probably stay with the orange. hey its different
Hell, why not?!!
Go for an orange shell too (a Losi XXL fits) - maybe some Tony Tiger decals?
Seriously, a nice car - the TRX-1 is one of my all time favorites
now if someone had a unpainted body to fit it

Yeah bodies seem thin on the ground.. if you want to keep it original that is - plenty of other stuff fits! BITD not many people ran the TRX1 shell in the UK due to it not sealing very well around the chassis..

eerh, sorry don't like that body at all. I do like the paintschedule very much though; perfect fit to the whole.
Are you gonna try the baja champ body still?

I meant I don't like the shape of it. Colors and scheme are a perfect match
(Tupperware now has many soft tones I believe , not sure, don't see it so often in Japan and the tupperware in my kitchen is vintage)

the trx1 chassis is to wide in the front, it would not cover the chassis

It is an odd shape and just takes some getting used to.
