Please post pics. I'm sure we all would like to see your old traxxas rig.

You're going to laugh when you see these pics. I wasn't always nice to this Traxxas Cat back in the day. Imodded the chasis because the posts on the chasis where you screw down the speed control servo cracked. So Icut a piece of wood to use as a spacer and then used the Dremel to make slots for a zip tie to feed through the chasis. Then Iused the zip tie to hold the servo in place. It looks like hell, but it actually works.... Last night was the first run of this car in 20 years. Everything on it is 20 years old with the exception of my piece of wood, a zip tie, the battery, and the front shocks which were broken. Amazingly Iscored a pair of original Traxxas Cat front shocks still in the package off of Ebay. I am using my 20 year old Futaba Attack-R for a radio. No body in these pics. I ordered a 1/10 buggy body by Parma but it hasn't arrived yet. The original body was completely trashed.
I also threw in a pic of the Traxxas Stampede VXLI just bought used off of Ebay and one of my messy work bench. Hope you find these entertaining.
