Does anyone know the measurements of the Topcat / Cougar Chassis (main tub width/length, taper to front bulkhead width/length, etc)? I am curious whether Topcat / Cougar (Classic/2) bodies will work on a Traxxas Nitro Buggy.

Can anyone confirm whether these rims are dyable?

This project is inspired by BeastyShout’s “Traxxas Bandit indoor clay race build” and the various excellent mid-motor Slash/Rustler/Bandit builds. I started with a Nitro Hawk donor car. I want to create a semi-modern mid-motor 2WD Traxxas buggy based on off the shelf hop-up and with minimal custom 3...

Double post, so I'll nask my next question here, I really like your front shock tower, which one is that? The shock tower is pretty dope. It is this one: R-Designs CF shock tower (https://www.rdesignrc.com/shop/p/rdd4111). I am not sure it will work with the narrow front bulkhead of the TRX-1/TRX-3...

Does anyone know who makes/made this Dakar buggy body. It looks to be based off the Schlesser Dakar buggy.

I finally got the bodies painted and we ran our Bandits through their paces on our piecemealed low traction loose dirt backyard track. General Set up: Front Camber: -2 degrees Front toe: 0 degrees Front Shock Oil: 20wt Front Springs: White ?? Rate Front Ride Height: 21mm Front Tires: Traxxas old sch...

Yes I added foam between the ESC and battery to stop the pack from sliding back. I use the same one-sided weatherseal insulation foam on the bottom side of the battery brace so it clamps down and secures the pack better.

A while ago I picked up my son a Traxxas Slash kit for his birthday to introduce him to a proper hobby build. The build made me reminisce of the Traxxas Hawk 2 and Traxxas TRX-3 I had back in the day, before I stepped away from the hobby years ago. Not having a car of my own, I picked up two Traxxas...

I picked this slick 1/12 Can-Am body up off eBay. After some research, it appears to be modelled after the McRae GM9 race car. The closest thing I been able to find is the Delta Plastik S0745, but it is wrong scale (1/8).

Anyone familar with who made this body shell?

Did this already . Maybe interesting option for a second version. If you are interested I could send you the 2d cad file for this motorplate.

Do you still have the motorplate 2d cad file for available?

IIRC there was a white and black version of the idler. For some reason, I remember the black ones being more durable. But to tell you the truth, I never had an issue with the white ones. But I was a stock motor club racer kid. Are you refering to the 30-T Idler GearMachined Aluminum (PN TRA1996X) ?

Awesome project! I am curious where you found the Hawk CAD model. I picked up a pair of Mini-b's for my son and I to get him into the hobby ,which I am just now getting back into after years away. The 1/16 scale can make repair and maintenance challenging, they are blast and relative inexpensive ent...
