Build Thread Warby's Traxxas Nitro Sport Pro restoration

[Warby]

No on makes a decal set for it?
I would think even from the US, postage would just be like mailing a letter. (that might still be $30! )
I think until I have EVERYTHING made for my cars, I'll never be "done".
There will always be that "one last thing to make it perfect".
This build really did come together nicely.
Its a good looking truck!

Thank you @CertifiedMike

Yer thats about right for postage plus import tax.

I've found new decal kits for the later model NS but not my old one. Still looking.

I have found some period correct, incomplete sticker kits for Stampede and Tmaxx on ebay. I was considering getting them just for the retro yellow Traxxas logo. But I also need a grill and headlights stickers.

I do actually still have my sticker sheets but I didn't look after them. They're no good.

I feel I never finished this build thread. That's because it's not. I'm still on the lookout for period correct decals for my red body, and I'm keeping an eye out for a new clear body thats not too $$. Plus a wing. Although I can always make a wing though.

Have you checked https://mciracing.ca/ ?

That guy can reproduce decals nice enough for the Tamiya fanboys. He could make your decals for you.

Here's his FB page. If you send him a message, he will respond.

Just ordered this Decal sheet for now as it was inexpensive. It has the retro Traxxas logos and Pro.15 stickers.

I've bought quite a lot of discontinued parts from them.

Purchased a new RX as I stole the one out of this build to get the second NS running. I already have a second set of crystals so I only need to swap the crystal in the TX to "bind".
