Wow! I sure am late to the party! Those are trinity long shocks. Great shocks. You can use all Tamiya o rings and diaphragms to rebuild them. That truck is nuckin futs! You still got it?

I have a rustler Vxl. I also wasted the money on a 3s lipo. I say wasted because the car is basically not driveable with it. Way to fast. Not practical. Has no handling. With the money I spent on it with the upgrades right out of the box, I should have bought another new vintage tamiya. I do like th...

I know this is useless without pics, I'll post them later. Too darn excited! Just got my NIB super blackfoot today! Along with some old school Parma parts for the frog, grasshopper/hornet. I already let the wife know that the dining room table will be occupied for the rest of the day. I hope the rai...

Nice boomerang. I've been there too. I got a big bear that cracks, splits, or just plain laughs at me whenever I move it. I saw this and thought of you. It is not mine and I don't believe I am breaking any rules by putting up this link for your project. Good luck. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MRC...

I really like those photon motors. I think they suit the tamiya cars well. I have one in 15 kits I own. The only one that I wasn't crazy about was when I put one in my re-re bruiser. Hasn't shifted into 4wd right ever since. That's a different post though.

No. I am just using a 20t duratrax photon 2. The tires are like almost hard plastic. Kind of like something on a toy. Kit is brand new. So I doubt it's due to old tires. So much better the way it is now.

I picked up some dirt hogs on mini e revo wheels today on the cheap. The track with Tires and wheels make it 8-5/16". With the traxxas hexes off my rustler vxl, it jumps to 8-5/8". I tested it without the hexes and it is 100% better. I also switched the Pistons in the front to single hole...

Nice. A friend of mine had one when we were much younger. I had a Yankee Predator 1/6 scale buggy around the same time. It was a bomb, but it opened the door to large scale for me and before I knew it I had a full competition 1/5 scale Bergonzoni Bull. That car was a beast. These big rc's are loud a...

I just put one of these kits together. All I added was bearings, photon 2 motor. During Assy, I laughed at the tires. They are almost plastic like. After test drive, I decided I will not be doing a box art paint job on this. Definetely needs softer tires. On full throttle starts on pavement, it goes...
