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.:thumbsup:

Top view http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/5015c680.jpg Bottom view http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/c958e86f.jpg Box with almost everything! http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/2df28de5.jpg Box arrived 1 July 2011 http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/58a41acc.jpg Open the box to find out what ill be working with... http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/a8462618.jpg 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. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/30a82b6e.jpg Motor siting unbolted in... http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/977a9d30.jpg Side view http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/fc99a2e4.jpg I was trying to find out what this was but I eventually figured it out http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/cac686e1.jpg Self explanatory http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/a0578fe9.jpg Top view of it put together and bolted down http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/caf11cbc.jpg Picture of the piece of crap servo - SMARTECH http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/118c3ec7.jpg 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 http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/25db1b2a.jpg Back side of rim http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/362d69a2.jpg It should look mean when I get a body for it http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/bff5f164.jpg So I tried to get power just to see if the servos worked and I got nothing, so I investigated and discovered this.... http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/ad3c3d98.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/735f8912.jpg 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.. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/3c227913.jpg The battery wire going into the receiver was poorly fixed that will be next to fix... http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/dd11455d.jpg I also broke this part so im going to have to temp fix it until I can locate parts http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/f2bccfb5.jpg 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.............:lol: :thumbsup: |

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

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 http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/516ceab2.jpg mmm thats looking sexy lol http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/726fc1b1.jpg BTW racers edge ships really fast! |
Getting some more parts thanks to member of another forum! Ill post up more when they arrive and maybe a video of it running!
