  1. 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!
  2. Guys slightly off topic can someone help me attach picture below as my profile picture? Have tried many times with cut down versions but still says the size is to big. I am well known on clodtalk and rcmt with this profile picture
  3. Next I ordered 56 mm threaded shaft off rc4wd so now we have a working chassis will update when I have more progress.
  4. 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.
  5. Frank replied hopefully I will receive some photo's this evening I will update
  6. Thank you Frank I look forward to seeing the photos!
  7. Thanks James. Have sent Frank a PM through this forum I doubt it will make much difference though I deffo have his correct email. 21st January seems a long time ago now this could go on for another six weeks.
  8. Received drawings on the 25th how's it going Frank any progress? Don't seem able to get a reply off you on email so thought to try on here again lol
  9. Anyone have any dealings with pole position rc? He received the pro line body I sent to him on 5th February have since had no contact and he wont reply to emails. That is 21 days
  10. Hi guys I have selected a lexan monster truck body for my Gauntlet truck. Now all I need is a REAL PRO painter based in the United Kingdom. I have a very specific design in my head I need an airbrusher who can do fine detail real quality. Recommendations will be greatly appreciated
  11. No more re re Clods please Tamiya just keep producing the Super Clod Buster. Please develop entirely new Clod kit the market is there just look at Pro line they have just released their own version of Clod tires and very shortly releasing their own Clod wheels. And many more new products to come. New design please.
  12. This is one of the coolest servo mounts I have seen in a long while. Hope you don't mind I have posted some photos of your servo mount on clodtalk.com
  13. 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
  14. Found Cheshire Powder Coating Ltd based in e port I will try them out
  15. 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.
  16. 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
