Yup, Another muggy conversion. - 12.29.2011, 02:35 AM

Well, it all started with an impulse buy at the 2010 hobby show here in Toronto, where I though a TB02 would be the perfect for me, and ended with me trading it off in fall for a muggy! I had gotten lucky with the trade and having a Losi 8te I had to own its monster brethren.

From the photos he send me, I wasnt entirely sure what to expect until he showed up locally..
and it was worth the wait



What i got
TIRES:
integy rims with unkown tires
pretty mucgh brand new dirt bones on dish rims
traxxas revo rims
and some others i forgot

BODIES
4 bodies
t max, revo lst and some other one..
Engines
brand new axial .28rr
used lrp .28
MUGGY!!!
high torque steering servo, think he said specktrum..!?

So all in all a very nice trade, or so i think. I ended up having to do a complete tear down/ rebuild as this guy was a mess!



going to get er all cleaned up..





THE TEAR DOWN was horendous, nothing like cleaning up someone else's mess, especially in nitro form..




ugh grease and dirt oh my!





BUT after quite a bit of scrubbing and de greasing she turned out to be realy purdy!



Progress. So after cleaning it all up and re assembling with prope hardware and non broken parts i made the decision to ditch the nitro and go elektric

So introducing home-made battery tray, or the start of it at least.



And some more tinkering with the layout..


Got the battery all cleaned up and mounted as well..


She really does look good in person, I swear!
