Clearly the easiest way is to simply reengineer the whole platform
(But the tower fits a stock car also and adapts modern wing mounts)

no, still a stealth. It lacked universals and a graphite trans brace as well as a few other little things vs a later 7035 truck. It would have come with both narrow and skinny fronts, three piece wheels, steel front axles, a B stamp chassis (offset battery on very early trucks, centered on later) an...

I know, right?

All this just to be able to cut out TMS Dually chassis lol

Decided to play around with a Nikko Dictator. To be fair, this is a radio shack version but mostly compatible. I have a proper Nikko coming for the final build. It cost me $35 shipped, so I can't complain! The car isn't too far from hobby grade really, except that they make it near impossible to swa...

Dave, you definitely have the proper mindset as mentioned. Too many people fail to understand that you don't have to BUY cool things, you can innovate and create your own. Learning how it works and the feeling of accomplishment when it's finished are so satisfying. I follow Jesse James on Facebook a...

Well, Tony hasn't logged in for about 4 years so it's about time for an update

Just "found" one and can't wait to get it cleaned up!

If your talking about the screw that retains the pin holding the shock to the arm on a short arm car, it's an .050

Not a difficult conversion, but since the TRX3 front bulkhead is so hard to find I used a Rustler/Bandit clip in whole. The rear is stock Bandit with a Nitro Stampede bulkhead (will need spacers) or a TRX-3 will bolt right up as well. I'll made a short brace for the trans to the bulkhead. The batter...

The extended versions would also solve the "Lethal Weapon in a Kyosho/Tamiya application" problem, as their outdrives were a bit longer. I'm really hoping these work out!

More than I expected- I just measured it and would need 6mm per side

Not sure, but the user that printed his stainless dogbones said they were holding up great, so I have hope!

Those are the earlier ones, much better quality and thicker lexan than the late bodies. Probably more of those made over the years than any other body, but also more of them destroyed lol. Good body, deserves to be on a special build. If your gonna build a runner use a cheap new body and keep this a...

I think you should build it with lots of Factory Works parts! Power Clutch, Steering kit, shock towers, wing mount bullets, battery strap, dogbones....heck we could even put a Lethal Weapon trans in it! oh yea!

I can't let Daryl have all the fun From the outside it's a throwback to his truck but this one runs dual Lethal Weapons with off the shelf components instead of the hand built chain drive single motor setup. I also went with buggy components and truck offset wheels. I think the offset wheels fit the...
