...check this othe rproject. Still need to to rmove old paint from the chassis.
I'll be building a Masami 1991 replica. The graphitr tower will be for the Halsey replica. I still have to work on the nose plate.
No, no I'm not that close to it, but it's the track to go to LOL! I'm probably gonna be heading down there and to pegasus for parts though in a couple of weeks and fight with all the Christmas shoppers. Personally I like socal when I run 1/10, but sometimes it's not worth dealing with the traffic.
Let's set up a track day so we can go test the cars. I'll be ready by next weekend. I'll be using new tires, the newre prolines. The originals got hard and it's not worth wasting.

I think you are refering to Duratrax shocks, and believe they are still onsale. Tower hobbies used to carry them.

Duratrax shocks? In my best comic book guy impression, "Worst. Shocks. Ever."
I think I could break them just by looking at them. And, they leak all over the place.
I guess it must not have been duratrax then after all.
I never had any; only had the real kyosho gold shocks.
The duratrax ones look really as aclone on the pctures and when I saw this post, well my honest mistake.
I love to restore more than building new out the box. Its just something about bringing old forgotten RC'S back to life so when I came across someone who had this old blackfoot body and Sees Aluminum wheels with a vintage Sassy Chassis thats been...

That came out spectacular ! Well worth your effort.
Hi all, a few months ago when I joined, I showed a pic of my lightly used RC10T Team truck I bought back in '96. Being I bought a brand T truck to play with, and inspired by some other projects, I decided to blow apart my truck and start a build....

That is something you need to talk to your powder coater about. My chassis had very minor scuffs and scrapes, not sure what they did, but you can't tell any of them were even there. Its something I wasn't concerned about personally--but i am glad...

Badd Boyz anodizing, quite a nice little time capsule you've got there.
Speaking of which I always wondered what happened to Badd Boys as it must have been a offshoot of a larger company.

i got this far after a little cleaning, some new treads and a used body and wing i had lying around.more to come later. polish all the aluminum, a new body and wing and maybe a carbon fiber chassis.
Started out on an idea to simply get an old rc10 with 6 gear tranny running again (with a hotshot chassis). Turned into this. Working on a gold pan klein build utilizing b44 cvd's and gt carriers in the back. Still a work in progress. Awaiting...
