MICHAELs TopForce17

A few aftermarket companies do make hard body kits for the trx4.

A new buggy to build and use at the park.

Was going to mention stampede kit but guessing not much bigger than your monster racers. Xmaxx looks cool.

This will work. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Tamiya-Astute-Madcap-King-Cab-Avante-2001-Truck-9805337-19805337-Wheel-Hub-2-/293018155127?item=293018155127&pageci=f6cbb507-0747-4315-888d-59a32a3fde2e&redirect=mobile

Awesome!!!

I found this list when I was looking to buy one, went for an onroad car so don't know if all is needed. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/rally/482602-tamiya-xv-01-upgrades.html

I recently picked up two vintage trucks a monster beetle and a king cab with very dirty yellow shocks. i have seen a few restorations where shocks were cleaned and made to look like new again. I tried soaking them in dish soap then using a tooth brush but that didn’t work. Also tried floor cleaning soap mixed with water but didn’t work either. How do you get your vintage yellow shocks clean? What cleaning chemicals do you use?

Just want to make this works before purchasing parts. I have a vintage king cab with missing rear end, would the new super astute transmission fit without any issues?

Two vintage projects a monster beetle and a king cab with missing rear end. A few parts for the cab and a shapeways order.

You can even 3D print your own trike for free. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/tilting-reverse-trike-fully-printable-esignsunny

Changed my mind on rally sadly...maybe one day I will revisit the idea. I vote tt02 type s or buy used tt02 and turn to type s.

Depends on esc with my skyrc toro ts50a esc a 10.5 brushless would be fine. Have a look at this website for shimming the gearbox. https://www.thercracer.com/2013/11/tamiya-tb04-pro-build-and-review.html?m=0

Sorry to hijack how much parts does the 1986 and 2016 models share?
