Simultaneously the most awesome and yet useless of the Big Tamiya Monster Trucks they have made. I would have that in a heartbeat but never to build it. 

Agree wholeheartedly with the first part of your comment, bit mystified by the second part! I can't understand why anyone would think the TXT-1 is useless, mine is one of my most-used runners. Personally I think it's Tamiya's best big monster truck. Each to their own...

A lovely soldering iron after years of cheap eBay tat (although it's a Christmas pressie and therefore I still have another month to blame my tools for globby joints)

And this beauty which I seem to be lucky to have found for sale still!

Hey there Mud, where in Texas are you??? I bet I can cobble up some of the bits you might need, at least in the wheels and tires dept to start. I am in Tomball.

I suspect you might want new front hubs too. Those look like TL-01 items you have fitted there, which have different geometry.

Yeah, I already put them in my TL01 spares bag.... it's going to need some parts that's for sure....

From Hobbyking; lots of wires and new XT60+ connectors for my cars / batteries (since I'm hopeless at soldering Deans)

From China; Hobbywing 60A brushless ESC. The last ingredient for my DF02 rebuild which will surely be quick enough combined with a 3500kv motor...
