well since it seems like the tekin chassis has become like belly buttons around here :wink: , i figured i might as well finally get mine done. i've had it long enough now. here it is, nothing special.

a&l steering
rpm front arms and ball cups
losi rear hub carriers
composite craft front shock tower
ae team shocks
mip cvd's
trinity 2.2 wheels and tires ( temporary )

i'm gonna make some shorter nose brace tubes. it looks pretty dumb with them hanging out there like that.

thanks.

if i'da bought 2 of them last summer instead of just 1, i would have done one up to use. but since ya can't get them for $30 no more, i think this one will stay indoors.

I like it :) and don't think I will ever get sick of seeing them, do you think they are still quite rear outside this forum or are there thousands of them out there :?:

i really have no idea how rare they are now. i bought mine last july, and went to buy another one the following month, and they were sold out. at that time, i would have said they were pretty rare. they didn't pop up on ebay very often. but when tekin found more kits stashed away, now there's at least 3-4 kits on ebay at any given time. and obviously, alot more here on the board.

in the grand scheme of things, i'm sure there isn't a ton of them out there. but there's more now than there ever was. they'd be big time rare if tekin had not got back into business, though.

That looks awesome!!! I cant wait to build mine up... :D

I'll be running mine since i bought a few off them and my cousin will be running his aswell. I'll definately let everyone know how they handle and I'll shoot some pics/vids of it...Just cant wait for the snow to melt..

What a cool looking conversion 8)
