Bertros 5 Posted May 4, 2020 So I’ve always wanted a shot on the txt. Massive wheels and a lot more scale than a clod etc. There are also many build options so it’s a great platform. Only now are Axial coming up with the MT to match its kind. This is how it started two days ago A wash and a sort in order! Decided to have a go with gold leaf. I think it’s a skill you get better with over time! Happy with the results mind Started on the body, it’s not in too bad shape but it looks tired, but in one peace! Then on to the rods and wheels. Body and wheels came up really well v pleased. . Inventory check need, diff spider, axel top, servo and bearings. As far as I could get before new parts arrive:) Update from this morning. Pulled the front together, need to build the back axel with NIB diff parts and a servo. Meanwhile attention turns to the ESC.. the 14.4v esc wiring from Traxxas EVX is offensive to my eyes :).. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Ax 9149 Posted May 4, 2020 Good work so far, love the gold leaf I really enjoyed my Lockdown TXT rebuild. I actually got so bored last night I masked up the new body for paint. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertros 5 Posted May 4, 2020 Ha, yes I was looking for a ford 250 body before reading your post. Hope it goes well ! It’s a cracking model, sadly I need to move it on, I’ve been spending too much on lock down projects! So it will be a good platform for someone to mod the badword out of they are to good to sit on a shelf ( to big !) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
