One of the hinge pins from the STRC Kit for the Traxxas Bandit / Rustler might fit lengthwise. The longer pins are all 1/8 inch diameter, the 2 shortest pairs are thinner (caster blocks and steering).

It’s a bit pricy if you’re just going to use one pair.

Thanks.

My buddies call me Candy Corn.

Along with the Jrxt body that I rescued from my folks' house, a Jrx Pro body returned home. The original chassis was given to another family member, so I'll have to build up a new chassis to sit under the body. I've had this basket case, mismatched buggy in storage for many years. Much like the Jrx2...

Man! Your on a roll!! :mrgreen: It's a special time of year before all hell breaks loose with kids' activities! That’s a nice looking chassis! No servo saver cutout, Jrx2 steering and the mini bumper..Looks like a Proformance upgrade with some more upgrades. I agree - someone threw a Proformananana...

Servo moved (but moved just barely enough :lol: ) and new battery cups made (same location). They are snug, but now the electronics are coming together. 👍 . 1000014644.jpg . Everything tucked in well. . 1000014658.jpg 1000014656.jpg 1000014654.jpg 1000014655.jpg 1000014653.jpg 1000014660.jpg 1000014...

The design of the Fan RC bellcranks copies the Worlds car, shims and all. JConcepts aluminum bellcranks use a 1/4" metal shims instead. A metal shim is easier to deal with but still a pain. If you don't need the buttery smoothness of ball bearings, the bellcranks/servo saver from the DS and GT ...

It's just taking a while to duplicate the FanRC parts. They want to get it right. Patience is needed.

Sweet build! Thanks! I'm patting 12 year old me on the back. :mrgreen: Had a few minutes at the bench today. Bulkheads mounted with a new bumper. 20250309_145854.jpg New steering posts. 20250309_150445.jpg I found a correct "wide" steering rack in the parts stash and mounted the battery h...

Shock shaft amd hinge pins are here!

I'm waiting on the .9 bodies to arrive and I need to figure out the turnbuckles, so at a stopping point for now.



Buffed the body a bit to see how it will look.



And thinking about wheels....

Spacers in!

Decided to restore a few decals that have some road rash. Luckily, I have some Parma Goodwrench decals in the stash.


Off with the old.



Fresh

got my 30 year old rc10B2 ready again.
