Ok I'm lost. If I'm sending off a new OEM SRT body to someone I want the reproduction to be a near perfect match b/c from my understanding the OEM will be destroyed. Also why does the body need to be a uncut and new? Don't they just use molding paste? I have a painted SRT body that alittle beat where you mount the pole position sticker and rear tower mount. Make a paste mold and just fix the flaws. I want someone that knows they CAN have the reproduction body made...b/c the worst thing is to lose the OEM original and end up not making a reproduction. And 3TRX...I would love to get a decal sheet.
I can't answer how they do it, but I just sent out 6 for donation. I was very happy with the work they did on my coyote. They are starting the next batch of donation pours around the end of the month (a few days) so you may have to wait till the next round.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website

I would just email them a few detailed pictures of the body you want to send and see what they can do. I would also make sure to ask as many questions as you can before you send the body. As far as the quality goes I do have one of their bodies and can verify the quality is not bad at all. You can view it here…

Sounds good, I am still waiting to hear back from mrlexan regarding the reproduction SRT bodies. I dont think he has been on the site in about a month.
Anyways, I added new articles to the vintage Traxxas thread, so if you get bored check it out
Dude you're killing me. I would love to find a NIB SRT and NIB TCP. I hope I will the lottery b/c I'll drive to every single hobbyshop around the world to find them lol.
I found it by chance nobody notice it. the box looks not very good but completely. I never saw it's box picture on net. when I opened the box I found it must be a powerful car so I pickup it up.I glad to share the pictures

Well, with my pile of parts it turns out I have collected enough parts to put together 90% of another truck. I always liked the looks of Kyosho ST's, so this is the hodgepodge I came up with.

I finally dyed the battery box and made some new low profile shock towers to fit the SRT body, so far so good. The front tower is 10mm shorter and the rear tower 18mm shorter while still retaining the stock shock angles. I just need to make the rear...
Hey guys been awhile since I been on the forum. I bought the all white SRT off Ebay last week.
And I was missing a few white parts. I took the white battery bar and stub axles off my TCP(they were in mint condition). I replace the transmission and...

Hey guys. Busy week. Anyways I was at the hobbyshop and found 1955r . What's confusing is they are the same as the 2555 they were selling. Maybe traxxas has some rare updated 1955r in white. Also no luck with the steering spindle in white. Also...
I've been looking for a Traxxas SRT for a while now, and I finally found one NIB on Craigslist for $150! The box was beat to Hell, but the parts were still bagged and everything was there. I forgot how much I hate e-clips until I put this thing...

Yeah, one of my many character flaws is my inability to be completely content with what I have. I was, and still am, excited to find this SRT. I'm just starting to wonder if letting it sit on a shelf for the foreseeable future is the best use of its...
Hoping someone can help out.I need to find out what bag J consisted of in the SRT kit.I'm hoping somebody has either an assembly manual or some sort of parts list that may show it. :?

I should be racing my TRX1 after Christmas, I just need to buy a set of tires and get this box of parts put on the car. It should be really interesting, we have enough guys at our track that want to run a vintage class. It would be more fun than...

The SRT was the last competition vehicle put out by Traxxas, unless you want to count the Revo and Slash
I only have a few RCCA ads and a couple articles in RC Model Cars to go on, but JG made an RC10-based racing truck in the early 90s. It looked to have a custom wide suspension arm setup, the old wide-offset wheels, extra long front shocks, and...

That's the one :) I tried to search but I guess JG is too short to find.
Doesn't surprise me if they didn't last long; it must have cost a ton to build with all those aftermarket parts, even with deals cut with suppliers.
I have 2 srt trucks. one is in good shape and will not be touched. however the second which I got used was not original in some respects and pretty beat up.
after about a 5-6 year gap of playing with my...

here we go. a pic of the final chassis. I cant complain about the handling of it as I dont have a lot of wheel time with it yet but things are promising. main issue with it now is eating the idler gear between the pinion and spur. had the aluminum...
