Here is the gearbox installed in the truck. It would look so much better with the excess fat trimmed off but for now it will do. I may buy another case down the track and experiment with it. Maybe even cut out a new motor plate that has a gear cover mounting tab would be ideal. 20241212_232112.jpg O...

Q&A time..... or just Q time actually.....

What shocks do you prefer? Stock plastic Rustler shocks or Blue AE shocks. Or do I just bite the bullet and buy another set of fancy Traxxas Big Bores?

I think the white spring plastic shocks look more authentic.... And the blue AE shocks detract from the Traxxas vibe.

So maybe I'll just buy a set of 5862 Big Bores, the rest of the truck has a fair bit of Traxxas upgrades, so it's only fitting to use them.

I'm not sure on the differences in shocks as I don't really know Traxxas all that well, which is probably why I ended up with so much stuff trying to figure out what fits what, lol. When you look at pictures of proper SRT's the Traxxas Big Bores "look" right although they are obviously dif...

It's not over yet, been a pretty close race so far and if you've ever seen an ebay auction anything could happen.

#1 rule.... stay off the pipes

I have no idea why this ended up in my feed...

The gearbox/ motor plates are fairly rare and somewhat difficult to find. I may know where there's white cases but someone said they warp if you try to dye them. Shocks came in the post today, I should have this going by Christmas :D 20241218_234145.jpg All built and installed, much better than the ...

Think of a tennis court, how can 2 - 4 people pay for the realestate plus utilities, rates, liability insurance etc? Without some form of income to support a track or be part of an existing property I can't see it as a viable revenue stream, unless your wealthy enough to use it as a tax write off or...

I do the same, save at 40% size. The only downside is the images are displayed at a low resolution and you have to click the images to view them at a higher resolution.

It drives !! :D :D I replaced one of the motor wires as I wasn't happy with it, it was just a little on the tight side for my liking. The Hobbywing V3.1 ESC is still a fantastic ESC and adds to the quality of the build. I also forgot just how good the Futaba S9451 servo is. It's soooo smooth, and wi...

Nope nope nope, it will get run.... when I can get time to paint the body....
