Been a while since I posted about this, had it out at a local dam 2 weeks ago while running with Dad and friends of mine. Shot some video of this, Dad with my XJ bodied Wheely King, and my friend’s trucks. It is 17 minutes long and there is some language if there are tender ears near by.

Right now I’m looking more for my Traxxas Rally since they’re close in size to the shorter M-Chassis. When and if I revive my M-03, that will be staying with a Mini body if possible.

I appreciate the responses guys, thanks!

I’m a Mopar guy, primarily their FWDs and that was part of the reason I’m interested in the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, it’s a cousin of the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon we had here in the US, which had a Shelby variant on the 4dr which looked a lot like the Sunbeam as well as the 2dr, which was referred to as the Charger in that time period.

Has anybody ever made a 210” wb Talbot Sunbeam body for the shortest M chassis, especially one of the Lotus version? I just dig up my Traxxas 1/16 Fiesta that currently has a Proline Beetle body for the Mini-E-Revo and would like to get one of a Sunbeam body for that and/or my M-03 if I ever get that running again.

If it’s a sprint car, I’ll bet it maths out to 1/8 Scale and is marketed as 1/10, like the Slash and Rally.

That’s what I’m thinking too, it’s not like a new paint job and color scheme on an existing RTR or a modification of an existing RTR like the 6x6 or Factory Five Hot Rods, outside of the electronics, hardware, and maybe some of the steering and suspension links I can’t see enough of right now, it looks like it’s got to be 85%-90% new parts for just this car. There’s no way there isn’t a plan to put these on hobby shelves and into enthusiasts’ hands down the road.

From what I have been able to find, these had the TQi radio, regular EZ Peak Charger, and a 3000mAH 2s pack, considering that might include the Snap-On Tax, I could see $400-$500 for this off the shelves.

Does it come with a huge penny to stick on the back too.

I turned that into a Wild Willy 4x4!

Thanks, that MF-01x us a great little rig with the portals on it, it was worth every penny to get the Mobster Beetle TR kit to get the portals for it! Nit only did I have the monster truck Helios body on this, but I had the smaller ones on my AX10 before turning it into a SCX10 and on my now retired Losi Crawlers.

I can honestly say that you are somewhat responsible for my MF-01x Jimny having portals, and I still thank you for it😁 I also think we’re among the few to modify our Tellurides into something worthy of crawling here in the U.S., if not world wide. That said, I kinda want to find a Brushed Stampede 4x4 to build a rig like yours out of, but experiment with the long arms on? Now those aren’t my first rodeo though, Did some experimentation with my brushed E-Revo too!

Thanks, it’s appreciated!

Thanks, it’s appreciated!

Thanks! The chassis is the 4-Tec 3.0 and came as the Factory Five ‘33 Hot Rod body, which is based on the ‘33-‘34 Ford 3-Window Coupe. I got a clear body and a cam of Traxxas Racing Green, which appears to be British Racing Green, minus the “British” in the name the wheels and tires for the GR Supra version of the 3.0. I trimmed the fenders off to give it a fenderless hot rod look and just wanted it to look more like something that would have rolled out of somebody’s barn, shed, or garage after several months of wrenching and May end up with a picture of it tape to the dash of every cop car in it’s part of the state vs something someone wrote a check for somebody else to build, which is more of what these look like out of the box to me.

Cosmetically, it’s done! still need to program the Rx and ESC to make us driveable😁

This happened tonight 😁

Lined up the 4-Tecs for pics when I got home with the 3.0! Listed in order is my original Electric 4-Tec with the seemingly unobtainium Traxxas Graphite Chassis Kit and Nitro 4-Tex steering and diffs, Big Bore shocks and a very well used HPI Plymouth Cuda AAR body, then my 2.0 with an old pre-waterproof 2pole VXL system, Big Bore shocks that came off a Nitro 4-Tec I had and a vintage HPI Viper GTS-R body and Savox shorty Servo, followed by the completely new and yet to be run 3.0 Hot Rod!

Picked up my Traxxas ‘33 Ford Hot Rod today! Then the friend that went in on the 2 for $300 sale with me got this one

More like found while on lunch today, label drew me in and turns out the tea is pretty good too!

Just got the oil changed in my 200 today, dealer gave it a much needed bath too!
