- Whity white RPM Ultra molded chassis (update) -

Post by Asso_man! »

I wanted to share this one with you guys, it's almost finished, some details may still change like wheels and tires. I still have to catch a XX Losi body and a wing also...

The recipe:

- RPM ultra-molded chassis (used)
- RPM front bulkhead (new)
- RPM rear bulkhead (new)
- RPM tranny brace
- RPM "world's 91" front and rear shock tower
- Early Lunsford turnbuckles with black AE ball cups
- Hammad Ghuman VLT shock bodies (Losi)
- MIP blue anodized shock cartriges (rear shocks only :cry: )
- RPM black shock cups
- RPM black steering link
- White Stealth tranny
- Rear HPI white rims with TQ-20
- Front AE rims with Kyosho tires
- Twister motor

Wow, what a difference! Did you use oxyclean? :lol:

Why does that guy always have to yell? Well, you probably don't see him on TV in Belgium. Can have another Lambic, please?

I think being patient is probably the most important thing, dream about it one night or two, slowly collect the parts you need and then build tha thing when every part is at hand!

Oh, and I must give some credit to Hoopty for the "plastic" look (meaning the VLT shocks 8) but hey, mine are Losi's :) ) to Geof for the steering screws, thanks again mate, and to Shodog for the spare rear RPM rear mounts that came with the rear end baggy, thnik that's all :D

Oh and a lambic for you, that's actually one of the very few beers that cannot be brewed outside of a particular place here in Brussels because of a very particular kind of bacteria floating in the air, but that's an other thread I guiness

very simple: first cleaning with a toothbrush and dishwash soap, then scrubbing with some "ALL CLEANER" spray, removing the grease with WD40 and cleaning the hinge pin holes with a small long round brush and WD40, that's all :!: The difference between new and used parts is still noticeable (compare the rear arm mounts and the rear arms or the rear bulkhead and the rear tranny brace) but I'm happy with the final result :P

I don't think so, RCPS tie-rods look more like the modern Lunsford ones. But I may be wrong...
