that ebay mx4 restoration

Post by Superathlete »

Here is my latest vintage addition. This was on ebay not too long ago. Got it for pretty cheap :)

Overall condition is not so great, almost all the screw heads are stripped, chassis has some chips and a corner broken off, bent tie rods, battery slots were dremeled out by a blind person, lots of play every where. But a almost 20 year old chassis thats probably changed hands lots of times...its not too bad. I picked up a lot of the ebay parts to make this thing good again and some local parts generic to yok/AE cars.

I'm debating to get new chassis parts from fibrelite in the uk or get some carbon fibre locally, cut and drill it my self. Anyway here is pic. More updates to come!

I've got a very similar project on my hands as well.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Mine needs a new chassis as well and a screw kit.

While I'd prefer new Yokomo stuff to keep this all original because mine is just for the shelf,
I'll probably order a screw kit from RCScrewz or somebody to get me started.
I'm missing a few, some are bent, a number of them are stripped, etc.

Dont hate but ive found that a traxxas slash stainless screw kit + a few extra long ones for the bulkheads covers everything....with a buch left over!
