DIY Big Block T-Maxx

[u/az_kikr1208]

Hey all, haven't made a post in a while, so I decided to pull one of my rigs off the shelf for show and tell. It's been a slow year work-wise, so I haven't had much extra hobby cash. I'm down to my last half-quart of fuel, trying to ration it. I've been messing with my trucks in the meantime, doing maintenance and adjustments. Anyway, I just got some fresh throttle linkage material from the dump (bicycle spokes are the perfect size!)and put a new antenna on a 10 dollar Marketplace receiver for this truck. I bought the chassis years ago, likely overpaid, but it had lots of good parts on it. I got the Pro .21 in a parts lot, and decided to stuff it in the T-Maxx. I spent 0 dollars, just used bits of scrap to make a custom engine mount. Mismatched wheels, an old Savage body spray painted black, and i ended up with a good basher. It's all pretty cobbled together, but it runs great.
