TXT-1 Refresh / refurb

Post by Bertros »

So I’ve always wanted a shot on the txt. Massive wheels and a lot more scale than a clod etc. There are also many build options so it’s a great platform. Only now are Axial coming up with the MT to match its kind.

This is how it started this morning,

A wash and a sort in order!

Image

Decided to have a go with gold leaf. I think it’s a skill you get better with over time!

Image

Happy with the results mind

Image

Started on the body, it’s not in too bad shape but it looks tired, but in one peace!

Image

Then on to the rods and wheels.

Image

Image

Body and wheels came up really well v pleased.

Inventory check need, diff spider, axel top, servo and bearings.

As far as I could get before new parts arrive:)

More soon

Nice progress! Have you checked out www.clodtalk.com ? There's a bunch of information over there that may be useful to you. :wink:
