Warby's ADX-10 restoration

[Warby]

@Doom! You were right. It is close to being finished. It is finished.

 

[Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal]

Bravo, nicely done.

 

[Warby]

I haven't yet found any wheels that I want so I fitted the Infraction mega wheels and I think they look good.

I'm still waiting for a new esc fan and a rear plastic part but apart from that it's finished and drivable. I ran it on the street for a short minute and I was right, 2s is enough for this little rig. It spins the tyres off the mark.

I enjoyed the build and I'm happy with how it turned out. Probably spent more on it than it was when new but I did it for the fun of the resto process not to profit.

Thanks for those that followed this build. It's not a build you see often or at all. There's probably not many of these left and definitely not in this condition.


Oh I forgot to mention, I found an original wheelie bar for it so that's on order too.

Thanks mate. Yer don't think I'll bash it but I will run it up the street and maybe on the local field a few times just to see how it goes. Then it'll probably be a shelf queen. Thanks for watching the build.

Thanks @Doom! . At least the shocks are protected in that position. Not a bad design I guess. Thanks for following the build.

 

[Warby]

Just realised I forgot an important step of the build. The all important AF decal.

And it even matches the paint scheme and fits perfectly.

 

[Warby]

I haven't been able to find a complete set of the og tyres and rims for the ADX-10. So I've settled for these from AliExpress. Wanted black rims but these will also match the body.

 

[Mr9Mojave]

Great thread..love a good resto can't wait to see it all finished!

Thanks, me too. Apart from the wheels, it is finished, but I will post a photo once fitted.

 

[Warby]

Wheels arrived. The rims are solid af. Tyres feel good and look very close, if not the same as the og dboots. Would have preferred black rims but white also highlight parts of the body.

What do you think?

 

[Tex Koder]

That's dedication.

Inspiring!

It's been a good project. Learnt more about the older Arrma/Durango models because of doing this resto.
I'm pretty sure it would have ended up in landfill if I hadn't of purchased it. Feels good to give something a second life, even if it did cost a lot more than it would have originally cost new.

 

[Doom!]

I think it looks fantastic!
