Now I'm able to start to build my project (thanks Aaron :wink: )

I began by assemble plastic parts on the Composite Craft Chassis
Image

I build a transmission
Image

And fit it on the chassis
Image

I fit the battery box to the Top Deck

This is what's look a TRX1 with the Composite Craft Upper Decker

hey cedric, thanx for the scan.

I only have black parts for my radicators. Do you only want white? Is there anything you are missing? From your pictures I can positivly say that actually ALL plastic parts except the Tranny seem to be identical between my radicator experts (I think rad 2 in the US) and your TRX-1. I think some current parts from the Traxxas Bandit might actually still fit.

VERY nice build btw.

Tony.

Well, a long time without any news on this project.

But today I worked strongly in despiate of my girl friend.
Before all, again, many thanks to Aaron for he's amazing help to provide me the missing parts.

I finally found a Traxxas Graphite front tower before getting a Composite Craft release.
I also choose the Optional Traxxas shocks with shock body and shock caps Hard Anodized.

Image

Same shocks fits the rear end.

Image

I complete the transmission, but the Traxxas original blue anodized motor plates looks so horrible, I may change this one asap.

Image

Image

I complete the front end with the proper caster blocks and steering levers.

Image

Image

My Composite Craft TRX1 Double Decker looks near finish.

Image

One more car finished, what's the next ?
