So started the research and breakdown. Of the maximum mt I received the other day.. its funny and disappointing. With how people treat and maintain their RCs. I've found parts off other models which is fine..But these don't even come close. least use parts that are the same or close. There was 4 different models made of this model.. and sheetrock screws used. To put parts on. Also super glue and a bunch of other broken 💩. So the breakdowns completed and a bunch of parts ordered..like mentioned is first thread not many parts out there.. So I just ordered everything I could. So would have extra incase of a crash or breakage.😁👍👍 so here it is. In pieces.. and filthy as 💩... and haven a hell of time getting the drive cups off drive gear.. so I can take the diff out of tranns and let plastics sit in some cleaner..spray the tranns.. and find some other stuff like a screw set.. these are so rusted it's bad....

Oh man this truck is horrible. The sheetrock screw and a nail for a hinge pin.. that's the best I've ever seen personally...The diff looks as if never mantianced ever.. Dry as all hell. And what ever is in the diff looks like clay at this point.🤦‍♂️😝😡 I'm the same way with stuff especially mechanical and building things.. has to be rite the first time.. and not half as*ed... then should never have a problem... going to order alot if things.. wrong front arms rear shocks.. and now a complete diff or diff gears... but love going RC part shopping😁😁👍👍

I bought a used kit one time that someone used a nail as a hinge pin. Never had any with drywall screws tho 🤣 🤣 🤣
 
Just order about 100$ in parts new rods arms mounts the works.. will clean what I can and keep them for spares.. But this truck deserves a little love... trying to find screws and the diff or the diff gears.. which ever comes first... lol 🤣 🤣

I dont blame ya. I would do the exact same thing.
 
I think you deserve an attaboy for even considering this restoration. You guys have a lot more patience than I do. :thumbs-up:
🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks man... I would hate to have it sitting in my garage.. and always wondering what if... so F- it let's see how it's supposed to look.... just hope I find the gears or diff. Any body will work if it fits.. and will get some duratrac six-pack tires for it.. next week as well...and going to throw a extra .18 nitro I have...
