Some progress on my Ranger.
I managed to fit the rear shocks using long titanium ballstuds and also exchanged all other brass ball ends with 3Racing titanium ones. Found a new rollbar here on TC (thanks Paul) and did the usual polish. The wheels were stripped of several layers of goo and paint, re-painted silver and assembled with Rads fabulous custom wheel covers. Some tire lettering to finish it off. I'm still on the fence if I should use a SRB front bumper or not. Need to see how it looks with the finished body. The body came from TC member cosub (cheers mate) and needs the usual front fender fix. Other than that it is in great nick! Stay tuned for part 3 with a fixed body and hopefully a nice paintjob (if the weather warms up a bit). Hope you enjoy!

This SRB just keeps getting better! Custom alloy nudge-bar with spotties on it instead of the stock one.
What coil over dampers are they?

Thanks mate! I like the idea with the alloy bar.
The shocks are 3Racing for the GB01 Tamtech buggies with Kyosho Scorpion springs.

WOOOW, what a machine !!!!!! It´s a TRF-SRB !!!! Top Work, now i´m curious about the body colur !!!!
Dante77
Thanks guys!
Don't expect too much of the body. Since I love the boxart look, it will be blue metallic (for the modern touch) combined with silver TC repro decals. Should go together pretty well, I think.

looks spot on!

This is absolutely stunning, as for a bumper I would go with TA-marks idea. well done on the build so far.

Vintage high tech. Stunning ...!!! Glad you want to use the Ranger body and not the Scorcher like ervyone else. Imagine now the ranger with a blazing blazer rooftop ....
Dante77
Wow, thank you very much, guys!
Cristian, I'm not raising a bar here, just realising my ideas for this sweet RC. Thanks, my friend!
