Default Project Reborn......
Just bought a 1/10 nitro truck that will require a build from the ground up and since I'm new to nitro's I figured "hell this will be interesting" "let's document everything to see how it fairs out." Imma try to do a from the box, when I receive it, to it's first run on a track...... Stay tuned! Pics to come.

These are the pics of it on ebay!

Top view


Bottom view


Box with almost everything!


Box arrived 1 July 2011


Open the box to find out what ill be working with...


Top view of it loosely put together, just tryin to get an idea of where everything went, not bad for my first time putting together a nitro with no instructions.


Motor siting unbolted in...


Side view


I was trying to find out what this was but I eventually figured it out


Self explanatory


Top view of it put together and bolted down


Picture of the piece of crap servo - SMARTECH


RIMS beat to crap also tires are on the wrong rims. Doesn't matter imma probably get new rims and tires once i get this thing running


Back side of rim


It should look mean when I get a body for it


So I tried to get power just to see if the servos worked and I got nothing, so I investigated and discovered this....



So I fixed the problem with my awesome wire skills and now I have power, but the servos that came with it are completely trashed..


The battery wire going into the receiver was poorly fixed that will be next to fix...


I also broke this part so im going to have to temp fix it until I can locate parts


I've got a long list of parts that im going to try to locate and i also need to find 2 servos.... until then stay tuned :tire:

You've got the tyres on the wrong way round, the 'ribbed' ones should be on the front.

I noticed it says DTX on the receiver box, so makes me think its a Duratrax.........???

Got myself a Losi XXX-NT 1/10th nitro stadium truck aswell, stripped it down to clean it up and buy a few new parts to get it going again but just havnt got around to building it back up again.............

The blue thing on the exhaust is meant to go on the intake for the engine, the filter than sits in the other end

you have it in the right spot, its meant to redirect the exhaust flow past the body. it would have a spot for a zip tie on both ends, not just 1 end if it was for an air filter

Now all I need is a pull starter, some new servos and some gas and should be good for a quick test run
