Cool, welcome to the forum! There are a couple of those buggies floating around in here. I have one I restored and there is another new in box. What version is your car?

[fbruechert]

I already saw that. Your Pro-X very already became. Mine is also the sport-version. The difference to the team are however only ball bearings and the tie rods.
I lack the upper plate above the servo and the gear covering.
My Pro-X looks like this now.

It appears that your rear upper plate support is broken much the same as mine was. Do you still have the upper part of it? You could probably fabricate a post and drill a hole through the chassis bottom, then use a long screw from the bottom to fasten the top plate.

[fbruechert]

I do not have the upper part unfortunately. I myself will manufacture that. I wanted to renew the editions just the same as you did it.

[fbruechert]

I turned 8 mm of aluminum onto measure and put continuous M4 on threads. So I can attach the measuring rods from the chassis underside by means of flat-head screws and screw on the selfmade upper deck from abov.

Wow! Very nice job on that. Do you have access to a mill or was the top plate made with a router?

[fbruechert]

@RedScampi
Everything handiwork.

@bearrickster

To thanks!

Nice work on the front plate. Very tidy.

You need the Aluminum shocks as well to turn it into the "Team" car.

[Mr. ED]

very nice handwork indeed: did you use a jigsaw and files, or the trusty dremel or ???

Those plastic shocks are actually very good. Their design is almost a direct copy of the gold shocks. Unless you plan to race this car every weekend for a year or longer I'd save the money on the shocks and use it for good quality electronics

[fbruechert]

I think, the plastic shocks suffice for me.
I drilled, sawed and filed. I do not own a Dremel. So I will manufacture also the accu holder.

[Mr. ED]

just noticed your signature says you have a KX-one also; too cool.

[fbruechert]

I have. That is my favorite onroad car.
