My 4TEC PRO w/ a 2.5R off my old T-Maxx.
Just ordered a set of Foams to see if I can get some traction.

"My Ideas always work sometimes"
Here's mine.. the body is stock.. I like the look.... Under the cover its been converted to all 3.3 specs from the chassis to the belts and pulleys.. I run a 2.5R motor because its fast enough for where I run and my friend has the 3.3 and its really not that much difference.. His is quicker off the line, but we run at near mid to top end most of the time and they are the same there.. I have a couple of mods, primarily moving the battery to the front bumper, wider belts, Spektrum radio and 2070 servos for throttle and brake. I also run Jaco Foams all around as the stock tires don't last long enough and the foams grip better.. The picture is a little old but you get the idea.. I still have the old FM radio in there.

Just shot this video last week of my 4tec's first run this summer.

This is a Rally conversion....not much of a conversion but there are some small changes and fabs you can't see with the shell on. Ride heigth is raised, rally tires, cut-outs in chassis front and rear diffs covered with lexan to prevent dirt from tearing but belts and diffs.

My project. Was a 1.5, Installed new chassis, all new bearing, new 3.3 plastic parts. Everything. The pic doesn't do the body justice. It looks kind of blue in the front. Really candy purple that fades into matalic black. yeah it would have been cheaper to just buy new but I have fun rebuilding the old. This is my 3rd 4-tec, also have done 2 tmaxx's and a rc10gt FT.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjFus...1&feature=plcp first time running in a while. need to find some nitro tracks around my area. Sarasota Fl.
There seem to be some extra wires here...

This is my frank4-tec
Many here in Brazil do not approve of the brakes and the instability of the 4-tec
so I decided to brake problems and instability adapting parts of a hpi rs4 evo 3
trays suspension arms are the rs4
the tower diateira the rs4 was also adapted
The brake system was perfect
changes because the car was very controllable
so I installed a picco .26 engine
Sorry dirt car
I'll post new pictures with the car clean and with new parts that are coming from ebay

Here's my Nitro 4-Tec. Nearly stock, First Generation Pro .15 model with the factory original engine still in tact (Although it has been rebuilt one time).
The only aftermarket parts (aside from tires, wheels and body) are the servos. The front shocks are Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec 3.3 replacements, The radio is a new TQi 2.5GHz 4 channel radio, plus I added the receiver box from the 3.3 model, Just to keep up with looks. The front drive belt is MIA (waiting on money to order a few new ones) So i've been feathering the throttle on RWD only.
The body is a custom-painted ProtoForm Gen2TCC body, with my own paint scheme (which is an original, and I do have a race sponsor, although I can't get decals printed yet)
I have 2 more of the same body ready, but need paint. That likely won't happen until spring. I also have a rain tire (last picture) for when the parking lots are a bit wet.
And at the risk of being given a warning, here's the original design for the paint job (this time with my sponsor showing)

Here is a video of the remote start and kill switch on my 4Tec 3.3, that is now basically a Nitro Telluride 3.3, as you will be able to notice.

This is my Traxxas 4-Tec with a Supra body.
That's a nice body. I have a 4 tec 2.5 with a 3.3 motor and an '02 Nissan Skyline GTR that's blue with a white mist to look like snow. The paints chipping pretty bad from a crash.
