Got some new parts in today for my LX Pro.
Trinity WASP Body
Full set of Proline Badlands Tires
Full set of OFNA V Spoke Chrome Wheels
New Fuel Tank (old one broke)
New Bevel Diff Gear (blew old one out last week)
New Exhaust Coupler
New Dual Chamber Tuned Pipe
New Air Filter
New Steel Disk Brake Kit (in second picture below)
Getting ready...rear completely apart, Diff Gear going in first.
Got the Diff Gear in, rebuilt the rear shocks while I was at it, got the whole rear put back together, Installed the new Pipe, and Coupler...and getting ready to put the new fuel tank in. (You can also see the one of the Badlands Tires mounted to the Chrome rim there on the left.)
Will finish up tonight....and then prep the body for paint tonight. But I'm gonna wait til tomorrow to paint it. But I will post pics...the paint job is gonna be so cool!

Well, started trimming the body. Now see, the Trinity WASP body is actually made to fit the Kyosho MP7.5. (I don't like the LX Pro, or LX Comp bodies from OFNA) So I had to make this body fit. Nose had to be compeletely changed...spots to cut for shock tower were moved up about a 1/2". Trimmed accordingly. The bottom/front had to be trimmed up quite a bit too...to allow clearance for the steering linkage. Rear part of the body just needed shortened a tad. But other than that...everything else pretty much lined up really nice. Fits like a glove!
