I think if I make longer front towers and a long shock end I can run short golds on the front and still clear the drive axles. Built the Tamiya SRB diffs and installed them. I'll need to figure steering pretty soon as well. BTW Corally sedan CVDSfit almost perfectly, not that it's period correct. If...

Shaft is installed, I have slipper plates and other parts still NIP - just bringing this up may move it to the front of the line this weekend

Got the driver figure, lights, and decals finished.
Just need some AmPro chassis braces and this one will be done.

From a gearbox standpoint, I don't think the Optima gears and gearing provide any significant advantage or difference vs using the Ultima gearbox. It just mounts to the chassis differently. I'm certainly not against custom builds though and it is cool. The big advantage the Optima gearbox offered t...

I have found that the Axial 20t top gear fits the TRX gearbox perfectly. It's made of metal - so much better than the plastic parts and its cheap . Part AX30394 Also, the 18mm HSP idler shaft works perfectly. I use the Traxxas 1996 idler and insert narrowed Tamiya plastic bushings in the transmissio...

hopefully these are legible. People wonder why forums are dead- facebook makes it easy to post pics where here I have to try to convert it to get it under the limit, then it posts sideways. Come on man.

Original Wild One restored with a twist.

Ok I might actually be done now... The original steering setup I made had pretty extreme bump steer. Just moving the suspension up and down it went toe in to toe out easy to see with the naked eye. I know some of the aftermarket Hot Shot chassis used a single RC10 bellcrank to smooth out the steerin...

Sure! Plus an M05, just because it's Friday and I'm feeling spicy!

Still beautiful

First time submission. This is my vintage TMNT party wagon that was converted to RC with a custom designed/fabricated Tamiya TT-02 chassis. The TT-02 chassis seemed like a good fit but it had to be shortened by 4”. I was able to squeeze everything onto the shortened chassis but had to move the steer...

Spent some time the last few weeks making the Factory Works Fox chassis better. I was never completely happy with version 1, the wonky stock steering was carried straight over and the crazy Ackerman just drives me nuts. The v2 now has our ball bearing steering kit slid in there with the entire front...

i sold one and this is the only one i have updated with correct red painted very fragile slightly cracked body. still on the hunt for the chassis cover knocked some of the dust off for pics lol. .
