Yes I have built a stock TXT-1 in the past my most recent TXT based trucks have been Kings Bounty (full TXT-2 trans installed in Wheely King chassis plates) and Gauntlet (full TXT-2 trans installed into CPE Barbarian chassis plates) The best upgrade I can recommend is a servo mount made by ebay seller sicnmeproducts which incorporates bottom link attachment and suspension attachment in one design. If you do get a set make sure to install 1mm thick piece of plastic sheeting between axle and the mount this stops the mounts moving about. Also these servo mounts will increase wheelbase a bit with stock TXT-1 but easily solved by using shorter top/ bottom links. Sky is the limit with these trucks. Don't get addicted like me!

Hey guys its Alex you will probably remember my previous monster truck builds that have featured in my showroom my last build being a truck called Gauntlet (just waiting for Frank to finish paintjob!) Well I have always wanted to do a build thread on this forum but was always held back as I struggled to upload photos. The up dated forum now allows me to easily upload photos. How sweet is that! So without further ado... What do you get if you install a full Wheely King transmission into Kyosho Mad Force chassis plates? A Mad King! Plus a custom Wheely King that is totally unique in the world. Hope you like the name of the truck Clawing Dead. This will be a scale monster truck build. First I got busy with my drill press and drilled gearbox mounting points (red) bottom link mounts (orange) and upper links (green) I am un decided whether to use stock plastic one piece upper link or custom threaded shaft so have not drilled these holes yet.

My Barbarian-X build aka Gauntlet (CPE Barbarian chassis plates with TXT-2 center gearbox and axles) not keen on spindly Axial transmissions looks real beefy with TXT-2 transmission in there Sadly I still cant figure out how to post photos in the forum but I have full build details in my showroom for anyone interested. Gauntlet is a totally unique build only one in the world

Powder coating for Barbarian chassis plates
gravetxt-1 replied to gravetxt-1's topic in General discussions
Found Cheshire Powder Coating Ltd based in e port I will try them out -
Hi guys I need to powder coat my CPE Barbarian chassis plates black. This is for my Gauntlet build. Can you please recommend me a powder coater in the Cheshire area? I would much prefer to simply drive to them and drop the plates off and then pick them up again saves on postage.

Experience of shipping from Japan to UK - Banzai Hobby
gravetxt-1 replied to njmlondon's topic in General discussions
Buy from Japan = customs have a party. Expect to pay a customs fee I bought a NIB TXT-2 off Banzai and paid a very satisfying happiness inducing 70 pound fee
