Common weak point.

If you didn't rehydrate the old nylon, it is likely brittle by now.

Luckily, you can buy new parts right now. I recently bought some spares.

Some more Ebay junk rehab.

I got a ECX Circuit slider with an electronics parts lot and picked up a cheap Torment parts car. Between the two, I've put this together. I bought a new battery strap, gear cover, and front axles.
Just need a body and some wheels/tires.

With a cheap Amazon body and tires, my spare parts Stampede is standing on it's own. Just need to put the decals on.

So today I walked into my LHS Gallimods up here in Somers NY with my new crawler and told the owner that I needed lights. Several options and such were tried and I just ended up getting light bars for the front and back and some 5mm leds for the bumper plus a set of beadlocks and tires too. I got some fender liners from a guy on FB marketplace for it on my way home and came home and cleaned it up and finished the install of everything except the tires and wheels, it’s Smackdown night so I’m going to finish them up tomorrow.

Ruined a "vintage" esc heatsink. I dared not file any further.

Added some stabilizers to a vintage Dahms wing

Cut and mounted another TOJ for the indoor/carpet car....thanks again RC10resto, I guarantee the NIB will never see any asphalt scratches! Will be running both this summer.

Nicely done, way better then ruining a vintage esc by letting them touch

Swapped out the broken outdrive and prepped the JRX ProSE for racing tomorrow. Had to steal some parts from my X5 to do it as the parts I ordered didn't arrive yet but it'll be back together.
I'll make a build thread for this car at some point soon.

Tires on. Beadlocks locked. Fenders on. Wiring tidied up.


Testing in the back yard in about 2 hours!

Back on the lathe today. Made a pair of body/wing mounts.

Finished up the paint and decals on my ReRe DS. Stock body, just with the Jon Gooding scheme.

I am about over decals right now, and wish I didn't need to mess with then for quite some time, but I think the next project will be just as dependent on them.

Currently Racing Racing concluded. Track is a bit tricky with low power, jumps were a bit too long for even my 17.5 buggy had to go wide for the run up of one of them. Silvercan we just had to single them.

JRX ProSE did a lot better this time around no brakeage but will need to change shock oil to deal with the jumps a bit better without chassis slap but overall i'm pretty happy with the car and with some tweaks i think it'll be a real performer.

Didn't even need to run the Ultima which was my backup car incase the Losi broke. But it looked good sitting there.

Fun in the snow! In case I forgot it’s an Axial Basecamp minor upgrades but the lights kick ass!

I put my AE dragster on hold because I couldn't find the correct 2.5" wide tires for the rear. I found some 2.25" IMEX Road Dawgs awhile back, but they were just too narrow. This morning, I started experimenting with tire spacers, and I think they may just work out fine..............at least until I can find the correct Grand Prixs. The GPs also had a larger diameter which I really want.
