  1. I must be impatient as I can't seem to find to find it. Looking to order from somewhere but need the part number for the 5 string white LED to fit into the F350 High Lift Roll Bar (off road lights in back of truck). Anyone ? Or 3Racing. .. ...if they have one......
  2. Don't want to buy second hand transmissions ? Or you going completely custom . ​ Curious I am.
  3. Ordered nearly everything I need for my Juggernaut restoration. Still shopping for servos and radio though. Broke the bank purchasing a new washer and dryer as well, so delay there will be on the restoration . ​ So, what have you done today ?
  4. Recently received my Jugg 2 replacement transmission ad Jugg 2 shocks (all mint condition) for my Jugg restoration project. So, what has the postman brought you ?
  5. Today I received a restoration project. Tamiya Juggernaut 2 chassis. Needs major work: body, wheels, tires, new transmission and electronics but what's there is near mint. Plans include: New Proline Clod wheels/tires, F350 High-Lift body, possibly sound unit, clear window with interior and behind the axle steering. I'm always open to thoughts and opinions. This is what I got: Thanks to Richard over on scale4x4rc for parting with this beauty. So, what has the postman brought you today ?
  6. #1 - we shouldn't reply to nonsense when it is posted by angry members (I've had a few moments I wanted to rant but thought it wouldn't accomplish anything and second thought didn't post). #2 - I was lucky I wasn't banned years ago when a hot link I posted went to an inappropriate adult photo (I had no idea), thankful I am the moderators and community were so understanding, I was expecting to be banned. #3 - If locking editing saves grief in the long run so be it. We can always quote our original post with new information. #4 - let's keep the site family friendly .
  7. Skip the MFU unit, they are old in design and difficult to use. You can get great sound kits and LEDS to add from places like Stellamodels and Ebay for good prices. If it comes with interior seats I would try to fit the new Tamiya Tractor Truck driver in there.
  8. Purchased an old beat up Juggernaut 2, missing the body, wheels and tires and more but I plan on a full restore ! Now waiting for it to arrive. So, what have you done today ?
  9. Reference that last photo in your post: I always solder those two wires to the point where my battery connector meets the wires to the esc (I use Traxxas plugs). So in this case they would be soldered in underneath where your shrink wrap, if that makes sense. Nice truck.
  10. Great find ! Buy them, I will. The tires are actually pretty sweet too, pictured on my Thundertech Centurion:
  11. As always, looking forward to your build. I can ony find the body on the RC4WD site, not the kit ?!
  12. 116, 33, 5 (I think). We must have passed one another at some point - !
  13. I was at the same show ! What are the odds -- .
  14. There is no shame in owning a Traxxas, even as a Tamiya fanatic. I have. You can't build a Tamiya to compete with an E-Maxx without spending more $$$ on the Tamiya than is worth it, if at all. I know, I've tried.] Those that say a Tamiya will compete are wrong, or rich. I've had many TXT-1's and would sooner buy a RTR E-Maxx to bash around with than try to get the txt to that level. Good luck !
  15. 1 x Tamiya Monster Beetle re release (was early). Next ? Ho Ho Ho !
  16. Seemed to me to just be a remake of Star Wars a New Hope. Basically the same plot and action scenes ! Still, light years ahead of the prequels.
  17. I believe anything will be better than episodes 1- 3 !
  18. Tamiya Jeep Wrangler Re Release kit #84071, new, includes ESC, LEDS Also includes: New interior/Clear windshield/Driver head Used but excellent RC4WD Jeep Aluminum wheels (with spare) Used Junfac steel front skid plate New Junfac spare wheel mount New Hilux High Lift 1.9" tires Ebay Item #181952764993 Thanks
  19. Got screwed by a buyer on Ebay. Sold him a RTR TXT-2 - no issues. Sold him a RTR Cross RC 6x6 with MFU. Arrived with damaged windows - no problem can reimburse partial payment. Buyer could not figure out MFU (even though I included clear instructions) so he fiddled with it, replaced the receiver and I have no idea what else. Buyer made claim with ebay, which sided with him, defective, broken item etc. He received a refund for the Cross truck but doesn't appear to be shipping it back. Ebay/Paypal doesn't understand that I can't send a return pre paid shipping label to him from Canada to USA when I've no idea how he will package it either . Big loss that one ! My first problem too. Based on his grammar in the emails leading to the sale, I should have known he was a bit on the "won't understand the MFU operation" side of things. So, what have you done today ?
  20. Today I installed a new Mountain Rider Roll Bar on my original Mountaineer as the original had sustained a few scratches. I also listed some really nice r/c models on Ebay . So, what have you done today ?
