The gearbox was in need of a full rebuild so I used this time to make it the best that it can be. Started by polishing the stock 2 speed shaft to a mirror finish I also did the same with the clutch housing and put a new spur gear on I went and glued some brake material to the pads, and also...

I picked up some HD (18SS) drive cups and purple swaybars I began taking apart the front diff where I quickly remembered the front has a one-way diff and uses bespoke drive cups. So I opted to just polish them to match the rest Before (right) and after (left) I grabbed a brand new plastic...

Shimmed the rear suspension it’s super tight now 👍 Also, new HPI shocks!

I did that to nearly all of them actually, this car is much more toned down compared to how it looked on the first page. My other builds will show this later as well once I make some more progress and have something worth sharing.

I removed all the aluminum suspension arms and replaced them with new factory plastic arms. Saved quite a bit of weight doing this I also changed the swaybar mounts front and rear to blend in better with the color scheme. The bright green just didn’t look rigjt Added a purple tie brace...

Scored some hybrid carbon rear uprights New springs Also a new cooling head (finally lol) and stripped the anodizing off the rear camber links Here’s a massive photo dump 😃🫡

I began swapping out all the shiny screws for black screws with purple washers. Also installed brand new HPI turnbuckles (old ones were cracking) Later I added a brand new hpi Racing fuel tank as I wasn’t a big fan of the factory nitro 3 tank design - the fuel lines were too close to the...

I’m actually selling it if you’re interested

I finally got around to doing a proper wire tuck, and the final result is pretty clean! Previously it was a jumbled mess of wires, I’ve been putting it off lol Summary of things done: Wire tuck Added rechargeable battery pack Relocated receiver and antenna All new servo screws Fixed brake and...

Switched to foamies

Installed this sweet New Era roll bar and put the factory color foam bumper back on

Here’s a pic of my first ever Nitro RS4! It was just stock, but ran great with the 2 speed. The Flareside body just does it for me. Wish I could find another.. And here is my first shelf queen. I bought it this way, it was completely new Unfortunately ended up selling both for a hell of a...

Before anyone trashes me I’ve fixed the pinion gears while swapping them out for purple

Got some alloy c hubs and carriers, better lower bumper and *drum roll* adjustable turnbuckles! I know it’s long overdue, but better late than never eh? The replacement bumper isn’t new but it has suffered less damage so why not replace it I’m loving these silver knuckles, can’t say I’ve...

Sort of old pics but you get the idea 🙂

I’m finally changing something that has been bothering me for a very long time…. The V2 hot bodies gearbox mount 🤢 V1 mount waiting to go in 😍 The difference side by side Everything came out pretty easy, definitely one of the easier cars to work on And the fact that it all goes back...

Did the front shocks. No more green!

Today I replaced the shocks with adjustable Phoenix racing shocks Then I took the engine out I changed out the engine mounts, header and put a smaller cooling head on I’ll get to the front shocks another day Got rid of most of the washers in place of flat hex screws

For a small batch of rc parts it isn’t all that much in the grand scheme of things. I had parts done for multiple different cars all at once to try to save some money. All in all it’s a double digit fee and that includes shipping

Just got my servo arm back from anodizing
