My cuz ended up trading me this nitro for all the work I did on his slash.

Lens comes back with Ofna Monster Blazer 1/8.

It needs a lot of work. Tried to test the electronics but I think the airtronics receiver is toast. I'll toss one of my spares in it for a test.

Got a pull start today so I'll see if the engine turns over.

And as you all can see it needs a major cleaning.

That looks awesome! Once it’s fixed up, it would probably be amazing to drive.
 
I know this guy who did an awesome restoration on a Slash, you should hit him up to restore this rig. ;)
I've been talking to him all morning 🤪🤣

Here's the inside of that receiver. I'm going to test the caps. I might be able to just fix this one.

Nice grab! I have this same truck and more Ofna. These things are solid! Mine came with Pirate tires. No slipper clutch center diff like the Pirate though. I converted it to a buggy swapping parts from my other Ofnas but have not replaced the .26 engine after I wore it out. Still in progress.
More "junk", aka treasure,that I got from someone.

If you need diff parts, or almost any other part, I have an entire truck worth of parts minus the main chassis.
That's a nice looking rig. Can't wait until mines looking like that.
Thanks for the offer. Hopefully I won't need them but we'll see 😉

Yeah, he would be the one to call. If you can find him, maybe you can hire...

Wow that Lens app must have a better algorithm than the normal google reverse look up cuz I could not find any MT version that used that Ultra LX chassis. Gonna have to download it and try it out.

It's pretty nice. I was able to find out what breed my cat is using it 😆

Yeah, it will find almost anything you ask it to. Every RC I have tried, it has nailed it.
 
I just downloaded it :)
Let me know what you think. It's pretty crazy just for this hobby. Oh, and your tool thread is going to be soooo much easier now! lol

Kev - you need to share some teardown pics man. Chomping at the bit over here! I can't wait to see what you do with this one!

Hell yeah man that's awesome... see self motivation and hard work pays off in the end... Well done👍👍 can't wait to see this one done.. with the kretro breakdown method.. should be a very clean sparkly new nitro when completed.... congrats man!! You definitely deserve it after that breakdown and restore of the slash.. you can tune engine over with out the pull start..pull the glow plug. Hit a little WD40 in the plug hole.. and turn the flywheel.. it hopefully will turn over for you... I wouldn't do it dry though 👍👍
I've been talking to him all morning 🤪🤣
It's when he starts talking back and answering the other voice get jealous just be careful and play nice 🤪😜🤣🤣
