If you own a garden hose with a jet setting, you're good to go. Leaves a hand free for your Busch Light too.

Amain's last one, came with a $20 off coupon from something called Klarna, a new 4-pay service I had to use to get the deal on eBay.



Haven't bought a kit in 6 months. Amain is about 3 hours away from here, could be here before the weekend.

Tamiya is calling the 2014 Fighting Buggy a limited edition, and now discontinued:

Had to do it, but was glad to get one that cheap.

T/E - Maxx long wheelbase 1/8 conversion chassis. Not the norm for this site, but I love to tinker on early 2000's cars and trucks.

From FleaBay, pounced on a BIN. Had to change my shipping address though Anyway, I have high confidence that Lunsford got the lengths correct. Unlike Tecnacraft. Phooey! But Traxxas always did have a paltry hop-ups aftermarket, with their relative flash-in-the-pan "racing" efforts. So, I'll take it!

These came up on my "saved searches" list and I was tempted but passed. Glad our resident vintage Traxxas guru got them

This was the flagship Tamiya model in 1985, the year I got in to RC.

Was so happy to get The Frog back then, but the Bruiser would've been my first choice.

A 2012 Bruiser is on the way here from Japan, might take a while to arrive.


Second kit this year, and needs to be my last.

I bought one of these back in 2013 on a trip to Japan, still sitting in my Hobby room NIB, Haven’t decided on Radio Gear for it yet. Want a stick transmitter that i can fit a shift gate to on the throttle side……..for it to sit on the shelf

Wish me luck. Should be a fun one.
Was a buy it now for good price, was lucky to see it.
For some reason it was colored with marker, should not be too tough to get off.

Love these old TRX-1s. Great cars! Looks like a nice starter.

I bought a mint Futaba FP-T4L for $10, just as a movie prop for The Dead Pool Corvette, should be perfect for the Bruiser. Need to make the shift gate for it.

Funny how the Bruiser driver was always considered a 'Hop-Up', and was never included.

Finally tracked down a hard to come by rear bumper/motor guard for one of my AYK's (Boost). Been waiting a month or so, coming from the UK.

[GoMachV]

yeah..Im pretty sure I ordered 2 from that same seller a couple months back and only afterwards realized they are replica. They are well made, but not originals. There should be a lot more transparency there, his listing doesnt mention it.
