I have a vintage XXT it was my second build and got it there at the Ranch Pit in Pomona back in the day- I am trying to get it back on the road- I have a Radiolink RC4GS, a hobbywing 1060 esc and a generic amazon type servo. My tires are pretty much trashed- now what tires can I put on there- this will mostly be a dirt lot runner only- I'm not sure the size and as my LHS is closed there is no one around to ask- I would like to get like desert type tires ( like the Rock Rey different size but same style?) When it's done I'll post some pictures. ANY ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance- Vic in So Cal
Picked this up off of ebay, wanted another project car (already did a B2 for 17.5 racing). Going to leave this one a little more stock (no big bores). Still not sure if I want to go with a brushless setup or dust off the old Novak Tempest that I had...
I have a decent pile of well used vehicles that I mostly pick up to use as part donors. Sometimes in these lots I find one that isn't all that bad, but will never be shelf quality, at least not without replacing a lot of the parts. So I strip them...

I didn't use anything fancy in the rebuild, or mod anything, so there's not really much point in doing a step-by-step on this one. I'll cut to the end and save some time.

A little while ago I was able to get hold of those elusive wing buttons, so they're fitted now and the car is ready to sell to make way for other projects.
It's been a slow paced refurb, fitting it around other life commitments and other RC...
I've been looking for a PB Mini Mustang for a while and this one came up on E bay hidden by a Ferrari Testarossa body and just listed as Vintage RC Car , looks like it may be one of the ECO versions as it has plastic bushings on the diff out drives...

Hpi added a one way to the clutch portion which allowed brakes, but also caused it to shred every tooth off the spur if you ever tried to roll the car backwards. I bought a nova two speed a while back that advertises forward and reverse operation...
Picked up this TRX-1 over the summer. The 2WD collection is nearly complete!
The diff and shocks are dry and tires are cracked. But, it's in good shape and should clean up well. The bottom deck has only a couple minor skuffs and looks like it was...

Yep, stunning lack of Cougars. STUNNING I say! :lol:
j/k That is an amazing collection, and a neat idea. I wonder if they ever all raced together at a big event?
Been a long time since I've raced these things...time to have some fun restoring and bashing! lol. The black/red one is mine and the red/gold one is (was) my dads. Working on mine first...
This is a period correct pic of the 2 Lazers with my RC10T...
