Picked up a bunch of stuff from a Coworker for $100...included was a Midnight Pumpkin and a Lunchbox, both Re Releases I believe. Came fully functional, all I had to do was charge up a bunch of batteries, put batteries in the transmitters and GO!

However, I am not so easily satiated...I worked on a Hornet Re Release last year that I really enjoyed modding, so I thought I'd work on this pumpkin/lunchbox to get it looking sharp, to handle well, and to go fast....perhaps!

I did my research on the TC Forum and Google, and looking at what the former owner did I got my plan in order:

Aluminum, preferably blue, all around as much as possible.

Fast motor - Sport tuned recommended so I got one and also got a BZ 23T. The sport tuned will go into the other LB - it is a Green Mystery Machine!

Both the Pumpkin and LB came with 104BK ESCs. I didn't want to chance things so I picked up a Duratrax Intellispeed 16T ESC. I also upgraded the radio system to a Traxxas 2.4GHz Tx/Rx that I got on eBay for cheap.

I want to do the Team CRP FX-10 Double Wishbone mod but I'm not sure how to accomplish such, any advice is welcomed! I have to scour youTube, the TC Forum as well as other showrooms for help....

Pumpkin was a Chrome edition, I'd love Alloy wheels but not pressed for wheels at this time. Former owner did most of the ball bearings for me already..

Shocks are from eBay, they are a direct fit for the LB/MP but I have too much camber in the front (see pic). Would love some help...the packaging says absima.com and I visited the site but didn't find anything about the shocks. Seems....interesting...to say the least. They were easy to install though!

Ok enough typing for now, will link my showroom on the thread I tried to add pictures to..

Love to hear from you,

Mike
