worried about possible Tude?
No. :lol: I just wasn't 100% sold it was what I wanted. It seems a bit oversized. I'd rather have something with a tighter fit honestly... Certainly not my first time saying that. :lol: I have a different idea now. :mrgreen:
I know a guy that has a spare Protoform Peugeot 905B body sitting around...... :P
Great body that is....

TRC radials showed up. I'm very happy with them. They're going to really grip nicely on any decent surface. Tore it down today and did a basic clean up. I'll add a little finesse as things move along. Happy new year to all!

I switched out the purple servo mounts for black. I was going to switch the servo out too, but didn't want to dig the one out that I had in mind. Laziness really... :oops:

Amen to that. I had to deal with that on my Agitator Pro 10 build and Shogun restoration. What a pain.

I found mine on ebay. Honestly, I thought they'd be relatively easy to find, and maybe they are and I just don't know where to look, but it seems like maybe I was pretty lucky (which is rare). I haven't seen them anywhere else and it's kind of funny that I picked that moment to look for them after having this on the shelf for so many years. There were other bids so I don't think they've just been sitting out there forever with no buyer. Someone else may know a source. If I see any out there i will let you know. Good luck!

THEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote: Mon Dec 21, 2020 9:15 pm Upon closer inspection I'd like to replace the nerf bars, the screws and possibly the bumper. Everything else is pretty much like new(or can be after clean-up), outside of tires and rims of course. Are the nerf bars across the line all the same dimensions as far as screw holes go? i really don't want to buy a white bumper and dye it though. I may just clean this one up a bit around the trimmed edges.

I found a new, narrow, bumper. Want it?

Thanks for the offer Todd, but I think this one will be just right for the body now that it is cleaned up. I appreciate it though!
