Whoever can tell me what this is...
Is pretty old into r/c...I know you know dave, dont give it away...
Theres the ebay picture. Everything I got works except the transmitter. The motor runs pretty strong for being made around 1992.(hint,hint)
What the...?The transmission, despite being so old, looks new. I put some grease in there to get it going even smoother. I also updated it with a modern 18 tooth pinion and a bran new 87 tooth spur gear along with 12 slipper pegs for maximum efficiency. This tranny is my favorite of all time, they are tough as nails, I beat up on the one in my Stampede all the time...I just gave it away . The trannies are Magnum 2.72s, and the truck is a Traxxas Hawk 2.
I ran it yesterday, and it runs good for being so old. I was going to sell it off, but it runs alot better than I thought so Im going to keep it and race it occasionally to turn some heads.The shocks were literally falling apart, but I have parts coming for that. Ill keep you guys updated.
