Alright so a couple months ago my friend contacts me stating he just clicked buy it now on a sweet two vehicle package.
Cool what’d ya get now ?? Turns out he went for it because one was an all black parts Worlds car, both of them were clearly used but in very nice well taking care of condition and were definitely built to go racing. He tells me I’ll love the T and I’m buying from him sight unseen.
Naturally this was someone else’s build, but it turns out I absolutely love it exactly the way it is. Only thing I’m looking to change on it are the tires. As for the body I’m thinking I know what I want.

If you mess with the electronics, remember to pay attention to the pinouts. That looks like an early Airtronics receiver and servo pigtail.

I hate dealing with early Airtronics stuff. I've screwed up some perfectly good stuff because of it.

Is that steering servo glued down?

This was a plug tag from an Airtronics set up I just recently worked with. Airtronics stuff wasn't compatible with Airtronics stuff.

Probably Shoe Goo.

I just noticed that the servo is a Futaba S9304.

My Team Truck came with that same servo when I bought it. Just thought it was a weird coincidence, as I've never seen many of them.

Also, those bellcranks are thick. I don't recognize them but they are definitely aftermarket.

Bingo ! I really don’t mind it to be perfectly honest.
You can pick the whole damn thing up by it and shake it

Has to be one of the smoothest fastest servos I’ve ever had

Now that you’ve mentioned the bellcranks I’m going to check them out and some other parts on it more closely

I did receive a nice transmitter with it as well, I’ll dig it up and take some pics.

Thank you for the heads up though. Much appreciated.

The one in my truck is so smooth that I often find the wheels turned, just from the weight of the truck.

I figured as much. I was trying to ................ well nevermind.

No branding on the bellcranks.
Has delrin lower shock pivots.
Snap on spring adjusters.
Man this thing has aluminum hardware everywhere.
What do you think, Slot Machine ? No decal on the can.
The foam trans gasket is still good.
What would you call the rear chassis mod, the endbell remover

Slot Machine 2. The original had a black end bell.

And someone cut one of my chassis like that as well. Who knows what for.
