    that looks awsome, still one of my all time favorits. i am looking for 1 part to be able to restore my trx1, after 20 years of having it, and i could never bring myself to get rid of it, had no problems geting rid of others, but not the trx1
    looks great, you did a nice job on it.

    Thanks Steve! I had all the parts to build it but I was missing the chassis until two months ago when I was able to find it on eBay... The only thing left to change is the black bumper that is supposed to be white... But, it's so hard to get a new or used one these days... Also, the shocks and motor mount were anodized in blue as the original blue color was faded away...

    Great looking TRX1! Was this a kit you had or did you build it from scratch? That chassis looks like the rare short wheelbase version because you do not have the additional holes to move the battery cups forward on the chassis. It's about an inch shorter than the longer (aka limo chassis) released version.

    Thanks! I got all the NIB parts from different sellers on eBay over the past few months and built it... And, yes, that's the rare short chassis and it was hard to find...
