Default OSRC's Blue Sawback Sport

Finally getting this done, I've had it sitting here since it came out. I originally built the kit with a bronco body as the original body looked blah, took it on a single run, and put it on the shelf. I ordered the sports body kit and bumper, and decided to build it up with the original body. Glad I did, really like how it came out, and it drives much better with some weight on it.

Modified the chassis layout quite a bit. Cut down the "motor" radio box, and modded it with some aluminum to hold the battery and electronics all up front.


I put a sound unit in for the first 2 runs, but eventually took it out for another rig. Fits in there like it was meant to be there!


Added the Junfac sliders, and am debating what to do with the rear bumper.


On the bottom, "beef tubes" in both axles, upgraded driveshafts, and made some anti-wrap bars. Not pretty, but they work great



And out on the rocks. Have a few more details to do on the body, but already love the look. The sports kit body makes all the difference imo.

Looks great! Are those the standard TSLs or the XLs?

I agree the Sport body looks better.

Is the bumper skid and fairlead something you made?

XL's, they rub the body pretty bad up front. I love the look though, going to have to figure something out.

The front bumper is an upgrade part. picked it up off RCRun
GS01 Front Tube Bumper with Skid Plate Silver GM30009 – RC Run

I did mod it a bit - just countersunk the screws so they didn't stick out.

They look great. Nothing better than the GearHead/ProLine combo.
