Mad Racer's Truimph Re Build!!!

I got this Truimph from orangemazda here.

He started on it so i had some of the hard work done.

I was lucky enough to have a new set of Kyosho medium golds for the front. A new gear cover was purchased. New Lazer adj wing mounts went on. I custom made the front under skid plate at the front but the missing top deck & motor guard was not going to be easy to find as i spent a long time looking to no success.

My Mate had a new built Truimph so he decided to copy a top deck & motor guard out of 2mm aircraft spec alloy. What a awesome job he did. The inside of the alloy bits were bead blasted to give it a semi rough apperance while the otherside are polished to a mirror finish. Thank you FMI ( Jared ) :D :D

A new TBG shell was painted up with wing but not happy with re po decals that I had lying around so a new set is on the way.

Still waiting on a few more parts so this will be a runner.

Only have a Ultima Pro XL & Pro X to get to finish my kyosho 2wd collection. :D
