[integra22t]

did a trade today and got rid of a set of rims that i had laying around for this ... dont know much about it yet

came with a bunch of stuff and new motor










the pinion and spur have seen better days



and the parts that came with it











so i dont know what to do with it .. not realy intrested in gas .. might fix it up and sell off

That's an Ofna Mutilator. That .32 engine is a solid performer, but DO NOT run it hot at all or it will be shot. They have great low and mid range power that are well suited for the Mutilator. It's a really good truggy. Any of the T & E maxx size tires are the same size as the stock tires. Ofna wheels are probably the cheapest too buy, but Proline and Jconcepts have some pretty nice ones as well.

If you're looking too just bash around with it, then I would get the Ofna 3 spoke wheels as they are lightweight and strong.

and the Proline Mashers. Perfect combo for this truck.

nice looking set of rims

im going to clean it up a little and see if i can get it running .. ive never had any luck with nitro

Ofna engines are usually pretty reliable and easy too tune. It shouldn't be too hard too get it running. Worst case you can always convert it too brushless.

well i should have goten rid of it as i took it out for a test yesterday and hit the wrong button on the controler and locked the throtal at 1/4 and off it whent .. when the fence stoped it in the aftermath i now need a new steering servo and front a arm

so starts the tare down .. chassy is off to linex to get coated .. new arms ordered .. axels polished ..

stop it at this point im trying not to polish eveything alum on the car

You should go on Nitrohouse.com and look at the hopups for it there. There's carbon fiber parts, aluminum parts. It could look sooooo sweet.

[integra22t]

thanks will do

[vwjuice]

Well I can see this little truggy turning into a project very soon.

[RC10Eh]

I've got four more nitro's for you once you finish that one Post pics of the Linex chassis when you get it back , I'm curious .

[integra22t]

this is the worst place to come to im telling ya

yes its gone to project status ... polish started

just a teaser



yes im intrested in the linex also

[vwjuice]

Hahahaha..
You could always install a faster engine, different wheels and tires, a sweet custom painted body. There's so much you can do to this now.

Score tally so far.

the sad part is i dont even like nitro .. i just cant leave anything stock

[vwjuice]

There's always the thought of converting it too brushless. Nitrohouse can hook you up with what you need.
