Hello everyone!
I acquired a nitro RC today from my brother, who had a friend who found it at the dump and gave it to him. I figured why not try to see what it is, try and figure out what’s wrong with it and see if I can get it going. So I did some research on it today and with what I have and what I could find, I think I have a Duratrax Overdrive ST, which has the .17 nitro engine and a 2 speed gearbox.
Anyway, what you see in the pictures is what I have. I want to look things over and see if the main components are good/fixable, before I try and source a radio and other things I’ll need to actually drive it.
What checks do I do, what do I buy and from where, what am I looking for? First time nitro owner here, used to have a Traxxas Stampede but that was when I was a kid. Any info and assistance is appreciated!
As a note, I do see the damaged front and rear control arms. And one of the shocks.
