Finally got my PCR done. (dial up beware)

I got this PCR PRO in trade and it was in rough shape. It had a bent rear center drive shaft, bent wing support and bolt, broken servo mounts, broken diff case, missing screws everywhere, the body looked like it was painted with a string mop,it was just rough. Well after putting a lot of time and a few dollars in it I think it looks pretty nice and should be ready to hit the track.

godale, I had some I'll have to see if I can find them.

Thanks guys, a lot of hours going over this puppy with a fine tooth comb.

Don't know how well the knuckles will do, I havent even fired it yet. The wife is getting me the starter box for my birthday so I have to wait till the first, it's killing me lol.

I use the knuckles on my TT S3 and have a spare set of wheels made up with those for my PCR. They tread pattern is good for thick dirt tracks. Pins still work best for smooth or blue groove, but in looser loams or heavier dirt (such as loose and wet) the knuckles really hook up probably due to a better bite.

They are also good for bashing and if you get the right compound (I think M compound) they last a long time.

You know it! That's why I have the 086 pipe on there at the moment. That track is huge and has two very long straights. I also plan on getting an 063 for it and running in Bartow as well, which is a shorter, tighter track. But Boggy is just awesome, you ready for another Florida trip?
