Very Nice!

Yeah the delivery date definitely changed....no rush here either. Been going through some of my B4's and T4's and refurbishing them. That'll keep me busy for awhile.

I have a old B4, original short chassis car that is missing the shocks. Trying to figure out a good option for shocks to put on it, the 4.2 FT style shocks seems to be almost non existent (and I don't want spend a small fortune). I know we have some newer options and perhaps aftermarket just to get...

I have one on Pre-order from Tower, just said estimated in March when I looked the other day. Kinda Vague....but atleast they don't charge until it is available to ship.

This will be the initial group getting measured. Most are used, but still straight. Measurements 1 through 9 refer to the graphic in the first post. . CVDs and bones group 1.jpg . CVDs and bones-1.jpg That's a lot of great info, thanks for doing this. Been driving myself nuts trying to find some CV...

Thanks! No I never raced this one, I picked it up used a few years ago.

LOL, just haven't got that far with it yet.

I was able to remove some old velcro and some clear tape from inside the chassis, I'm guessing the clear tape was to protect the chassis somehow. Took me a while to clean all the sticky gunk out with some acetone, but it came out nice and revealed a nice chassis. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...

Then I won't have CVD's any more, just the worn out universals that also came with it.

So what are they off of ? I assume the PO did that to be able to run the MIP CVD's on this truck?

Yeah $399 is pricey, but I've seen them go for that and close to it on Ebay.

OK, I haven't touched this truck in awhile, so it's time to start getting something done on it...... 8) I started cleaning up the rusty turnbuckles with some elbow grease and gun oil. They cleaned up pretty good for now. I was missing the rear body posts, so I decided to install my vintage RPM adjus...

I just started to clean them for now with some elbow grease and gun oil. Going to look for replacements as well. Ran into a weird situation, this truck has MIP CVD's on it, so the rear carriers have been changed, I guess to mate up with the CVD's. Now they have a smaller axle, not sure what these ca...

Best thing is if you end up going with some re-re Tamiya's to run, they have a ESC included. So you can run some retro cars on a budget. The re-re Frog / Brat also has updated dog bone type rear shafts so it is more durable. The first car I started racing with was a Tamiya Hornet in the Novice class...

The damage in the 1st pic, was due to the ball diff being loose and slipping, it makes heat and will melt the diff gear.

Nice collection!
