Talk about an epic battle man Vs machine! That thing is in rough shape! I was give a nitro Thunder Tiger Tomahawk that had been left out in a garden for two years and wasn't as rusted as that! Why I never run RCs on the beach!
YESSSSSS BLUE PINTO!!! always LOVE when you play this man.
UDR is an exhilarating rc car that shows great performance.
Ahhhhh yeah, been there. I did a restore on my sons buggies years ago. They were a bit like this.
My condolences on the loss of your friend. iIt was interesting to watch.I have found that removing pins that you're going to have to replace sometimes small vise grips are helpful. You said your friend ran the truck on the beach. If it was an ocean front beach and he ran through water then the salt water can cause all kinds of rust issues.
I remember repairing a customers Traxxas model that was in a very similar situation. Many new parts, screws later you couldn't tell. My bloody pressure could though.
Welcome to ampro engineering, an this is your first installment of hell 😂
Wow lotta work there...
what a tough job !
The bag of hardware almost certainly is brand new. One of the main chop shops on eBay lists all of their parts as used. That's probably where you got it from
A couple of years ago I bought a Losi Baja Rey on eBay. The pictures all looked good. When I got it, it was a nightmare. Full of sand. The entire drivetrain was booger welded together. I had to cut everything apart. I spent more money on the truck and the replacement parts than if I had just bought a new one RTR.
That was … special. 😆 That was seriously a major pain.
Great project. I bet all that salt water, sand rusted everything. That's a drag. I would just tear it completely down.
Just like working on my truck from the eastcoast, lots of swearing and the inevitable cutoff wheel
Maybe soaking it in penetrating oil would've helped? Also to prevent this rust
One of my biggest complaints about Traxxas. They make excellent bashers, but don't use stainless hardware!
