Hi there, a friend of mine got a NIB Avante 2001 from his buddy, but the universals are missing. Can anyone confirm if the ones from a Avante 2011 are a direct fit? Thanks in advance

Not sure what you're looking for, but the Ascender has a Chevy body. There will be a Bronco from JConcepts, but that's not even announced yet

Traxxas ET-3S ESC, flashed with Castle MMP firmware And a big motor for a new project

put a Willy in my Ascender

My apologies, but that's the only pic I've got. The gearbox looks like one from a Grasshopper, some other parts are toy-grade, I agree...

A friend found this in the basement and we have no clue what brand this might be Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Sure, I have some in my showroom: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=126318&sid=42770 Yes, those tires are pretty bad on anything but tarmac... Impossible to drive on loose ground, still fun though

Just found this thread and it's cool to to see someone else having the idea with the shorty LIPO I have added a bit of carbon fibre to act as a top deck (to fix the battery and the ESC) and a servo mount, plus replaced the front suspension with parts from a DT-03. Handles pretty good now Still need to add some weight on the rear though, the 3000kv outrunner is not helping with traction

Come up with the ultimate invisible body mounts

Love the idea and can't wait to see more

This is a Team Associated RC12E, introduced 1978. They even have the manual still online

I'm running my Mad Bull with a 3500v Brushless and 2S Lipos. With a steel pinion no issues at all, if you find a Lipo that fits

built a new servo and lipo mount for my Mad Bull... a bit overkill, I know

awesome!

converted my Mad Bull to a double wishbone front suspension

Did a little thinking myself and did my own style conversion. Parts required: DT-03 front lower arms DT-03 bulkhead DT-03 C-Hubs DT-03 screw pins and u-shaped Shaft some screws, 2 of them very long (used the old damper shafts of my FAV) 3mm threaded rod and some ball links Flattened the stock DT-01 bumper a little and put the DT-03 front together (shortened that u-shaft a little) centered the bulkhead on the bumper, drilled holes and fixed bulkhead with 12mm screws and lock nuts opened the front mounting holes for the bumper in the chassis all the way throught, this is where the top arms are going to be mounted with the longs screws. and after making the arms, the whole thing looks pretty good and is about 5 mm wider then the stock front

tried to fit a DT-03 front suspension into a DT-01 Works like a charm

That would be great! Thanks a lot!

@GregM Just found this thread and would love to see the conversion Wolfgang made. But the forum seems offline. Any chance you have some more details on this? Thanks in advance

The outrunners are not very different, just the can and the end bell are rotating together with the shaft. In my case, I made an adaptor from 16mm to the regular 540 bolt pattern and routed the wires through a small hole in the gearbox. More in my showroom soon

got the outrunner in

Wow... That was quick... from dirty Ebay find to a pretty nice looking Mad Bull in a few hours. Must have been the easiest car I put together - just the electronics are missing Added some Yeah Racing shocks with stock springs up front and dremeled the tub a little to fit my Lipo shorty

I'm a man, I only know on and off

started to clean my Mad Bull and got the old body painted

yeah, oil shocks, brushless outrunner, better steering, battery relocation... too many ideas, although the car is for a 8 year old... But I can't resist
