you could but they have a different hex attachment (no pin).

I know that and I think that I have the hex.

adaptation finition on the gearboxes

are you sure you have the right upper deck, looks different from the DF ones?

Waterbok,
I am sure that the upper deck is not at the good dimensions. It is too long for the instant.
I took a shema from internet from the top force double FRP decks. Mine will be simplified. But If I had your shema, maybe I made an original copy. This one is a temptative if it is good, I will make another like original from you for my MANTA RAY.
I have some work to do but I want a runner for my Dirt. And a box art/hopuped for my MR.
Thanks Waterbok

Nice work with this with those decks.

Here some pictures of the Traxxas Big Bore on my DT:







As you can see they fit nicely.

Sadly, when I was out testing I had a problem. I first though it was a stripped gear by the noise it made. But when I bring the car home to investigate. I found no stripped gear. Then I realize the noise came from the motor. It still spins but it has no more torque. Do not know what happen.

I try to take the motor apart. But I stripped the set screw on my pinion gear!
Any advice on getting a stripped set screw out? I try to drill the thing. But it is not easy.

Shocks look great.

I've had some success with similar grub situations by superglueing in a small Tam hex wrench...
If I remember well, eddrick once had a tip about using a slightly larger (1.6 instead of 1.5mm) diametrical wrench.

Yes those shocks are good. No comparison with the previous one.

I will try the glue. The problem is now I drilled it. So the situation is worth...

No idea what happen to the motor. Maybe overheating. But it was working fine the last time. After two packs, I didn't observe a lost in torque.

First chassis "white" mount. I am happy from it. Need some towers and put the upper deck.
I mounted original linkage system on the towers I had with my TA02 FRP chassis kit.

Nicely done.
