heavy challenge clearly

I bought one last year just weeks before a big vintage race. Worked on it like a devil to get proper electronics in, bearings throuhout, replacement of the broken body, and a simplified shock setup with oil-filled units. It was actually great fun to drive, even while it was bouncy like a tennis ball...

Thanks Jeff,, you're a hero
They post sideways on facebook too , and after a week it's near impossible to find anything again. Nobody bothers searching facebook anyways and just shoots questions on every whim.

Here are some pics of my Bandai step brothers. http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k545/gomachv/RC%20Collection/null_zps30668438.jpg http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k545/gomachv/RC%20Collection/null_zps20dff671.jpg http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k545/gomachv/RC%20Collection/null_zps80f9924...

and who makes those lightened outdrives?

The toddler, now teenager, let me take an updated picture. Here it is along with some details in better lightconditions.

ah finally I understand why that original body was sitting so high onthe MRC I owned years ago.

subscribing forupdatess . Good start

I also have a variant of it: made by hobbyworld for multiplex. The one with an outrage inspired body.

Neither are clones of the trx-1 or kyosho triumph. There’s only very superficial similarities.

Can we see the finished car? That last image triggers my interest

How do the wheels fit on this: standard cros-pin and 12mm hex, or something which could easily be converted to that?
