This isn't my original Nitro Hawk I had in '93, but it's one I recently built out of two I snagged off Ebay. It had an original TRX12 in it but I swapped my old Pro15 from the Nitro Rustler in. It still needs some Lunsfords, new fuel tubing, a body, and a decent steering servo. (and rear tires, among other little things) Would really like to find a cooling head that better matches the shock bodies or MIP 360 too.

nitro "mutant" buggy. losi front and rear arms+ rc10 spur gear+ trx2.5= fun fun fun even added a disk brake.
Heres a few pics of my Hawk. Ive had it for over four years and am just discovering the fun! except i have been having a little tuning problem, but i dont really know how old the motor is so soon it will be time to just replace it. right now i have taken the engine apart and everything seemed ok, well see. maybe like i said its time for a motor. i really like the disc brake setup but it looks like a lot of work. i read somewhere about putting a piece of leather on the OEM brake shoe, so i tried that. ill let you know how it works. it looks like it will be good. there really is quite a few hawks still around. nice to see that. well more pictures to come later.

Bashing is Fun
MY Nitro Hawk. Picked it up 100% original with original body from someone who hardly used it -Original TRX .12 engine. I added associated 2-stage filter, Prolines all around, and a Proline body to dress it up. Pretty much a shelf queen now - with an occasional spin around the yard.
