TRX-B (poor mans TRX3) and SRT-R (you guessed it!)

[Mr. ED]

Which reminds me: a couple links in your main screen of the Factory works site don't work: for example the "shocktowers"

[GoMachV]

Yeah those are areas that will get populated soon. Now that I'm close to being caught up on shipping out stuff I'll have a little more time. I'm struggling with how to properly take pics of everything. When I was at Kelly Lunsford's a few weeks back he had a really nifty booth for taking photos, I might have to twist some arms and see if I can borrow it's use

[Mr. ED]

A cutdown cardboard box, white bed sheet and desk light could work wonders.
Keep up the good work. You're a hero in my book

[klavy69]

you can build a 2d cutout 'duplicating machine' but struggle with a cardboard box, bedsheet and table lamp

Honestly, I have faith in your ability Jeff so don't get all serious on me again

But to be honest, not sure about Oregon but we have a Dollar Tree store by me that sell that foam core white board people use for like garage sale or graduation signs that you can build a foldup lightbox out of for about 4 bux and use a shop light for a light source. Fold it up and put it up above a light somewhere until you need it again...

Doh! got another pm from someone on the board here...

[Mr. ED]

I suggest a topic change

Looks factory...



Both awesome!

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I had a quick question for GoMachV. The rear wheels on your TRX3-B are they the Traxxas wheels? And do they have a 12mm hex? TRA2474
I’m having what I think are fitment issues with some associated wheels I purchased. They are rubbing on the rear shocks. I was thinking maybe using the Traxxas wheels would have the correct offset. Awesome chassis BTW. I like the use of the nitro rustler rear bulkhead.

[GoMachV]

I don’t recall what I had on that particular car- they were likely the original bandit wheels. If I understand your dilemma you want a 12mm hex wheel with and old school offset to not rub on an AE buggy- for that I would recommend the Traxxas Mini E-Revo wheels. They are 2.2 buggy wheels. Part number is 7171. I have used them on optima variants and such, really the only negative is that they don’t offer a 2wd front that would match, and the mounting flange is thin which may require a washer on some axles. Here’s a set on one of my trailing arm cars.

[PhilV]

Thanks for the tip. I will take a look at those wheels. I am actually building up a Bandit with rear motor that I put associated wheels on it. I just think the offset is too deep and the inside lip of the wheel will contact the rear shock. But I’m going to take a look at the e-revo wheels

[TrAxxxSRac3R]

Where do I get the chassis you've used? I have two TRX-1's I'm planning to bring back to life... and, configuring one as a TRX-3/TCP hybrid is definitely within consideration for me.

[GoMachV]

We are the maker of the TRX-B and SRT-R, however if you have a trx1 it will not fit as these are designed for bandit and rustler. There would be a lot of redesign needed.

You could clone the CC TRX-1 top deck though!

But I'm getting off-topic at this point in the thread. Just a thought. Random.

@GoMachV
Finally got the 7171 wheels in. Unfortunately the offset is now to much. They push the width out too far now. Thank you for the option though. I will mess around with different width wheel hexes and hope for the best.

[RC10th]

Do the old SRT dish wheels require different arms since the original Rustler had different offset wheels?

Or can you run the rear dish hex wheels on the front/rear of the newer Rustlers?

I don't know if they are available separately, but RPM Revolver wheels come with hexes that are fairly thin.
