I'd get new towers and not run the truck towers, Standard buggy in rear is fine, and an RPM version up front. That will reverse the shock positions, more upright up front and less upright out back. as it sits the progressive rates are 'off' Jeff (factory works) makes some sweet towers, you can get o...

Also got the shocks together last night. I made a mess bleeding them, but they're smooth!

Quick update... got a couple of already painted bodies in, which will be perfect for two of my project cars.... Firstly, a nice blobby European thing, to suit it's Schumacher origins: Daytona1.jpg Secondly, some heavyweight American panels, to match with the ASSociated front end: Daytona2.jpg Also g...

Still looks better than most bodies I do...

Man, this is a really nice build. I can certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into cleaning and finishing so many individual parts. The end result is well worth it though. I did a similar rebuild to my original RC10T a few years ago. So happy to have it still. What medium did you blast ...

Hi all, been a while since i last posted here... no pandemic back then! Im sure many of you are enjoying new builds or restoring cars that where long forgotten some where :) Got a hold of an incomplete but unused Kyosho FF CRX, nice little car indeed! Have been able to source most parts that where m...

Hé !!!

You can use your hand's fingers to polish those shocks

You don't need tool or gear for that ... (je suis déja loin...)

Parts can be found but they are scarce. You may be better off finding a used example from eBay. Grab the manual from associated's website and give it a read. In no particular order these parts are what is different: Rear arms Rear bones Rear shock tower and short shocks Rear Sway bar Nose plate Shoc...

I think the shocks look perfect as they are -- they complement the body posts. metal appearance.jpg A few minutes with some Mothers or Nevr-Dull metal polish would have made them look like mirrors but I think they look great just as they are. Less is more. It's also cool that you've found a matching...

They are pretty much an obscure relic of the past indeed... The cars are also reflecting that, a lot more forward-biased now. This is disappinting for me to hear- today's "off road" seems more like "on road, with jumps" instead :| I remember hearing "offroad is onroad with ...

ok heres what i found out by just pulling the trigger in the dark on a few things, for future reference anybody else wondering - traxxas slash rear arms are about direct replacement for ls2 arms, the new style trannies with the built in or detachable mounts for stampede slash etc, place the mounting...

Well great afternoon building this back up, it’s had an easy life! A real find now it’s cleaned up and it’s going together a treat! Shame to sell it.. oh well that’s how it starts ;) the shocks where still full of the original red oil, however for some reason they did not fit the piston rings so it ...
