almost a year ago i bought two traxxas SRT's off Ebay, it was a dream come true Because at the time they came out, i was a traxxas fan. I have always routed for the underdog, and going against AE and Losi, there was no more underdog thing to be than Traxxas.

Anyways I have finally started a project, that might be the definitive SRT to date. As i have said i got two of these gems, and one is absolutely perfect, That one will be a shelf queen. The other didn't come with a body and is not rough, but used, and will be the genisis of the project. The setup will be a little Old School and a bit of New School. The old school, will be the SRT chassis and tranny internal mods, It will have a delrin top gear and alumnium idler gear W/ball dif (racing setup of the time). The New school would be the top shaft and Jato type slipper with a Velineon 3500 setup w/lipo's. I will also try to add some Jato shocks, the fronts will be easy, they are the same length as the stock Big bores. the problem will be getting the geometry right, I know the Jato works a bit more on progression than other trucks, so i am hoping to incorporate them in this project. I will post pics of what i am starting with tomorrow (got to take it apart to figure out a little crunch in the tranny anyways)
