Re: RC10 B1.5
The tub for what will become b1.5 #3 showed up today. Its used, but its straight with no extra holes, and minimal scratches on the bottom.
There's also tub #4. It has a slight tweak, a hole for servo horn access and kinda gouged up. But its my sacrificial lamb..... so to speak. Just in case my ideas don't work out, I didn't chop up a good tub.

Re: RC10 B1.5
Got the bottom of the tub cleaned up pretty good. Still a couple of scratches at the back but theyre not too bad.
I also shortened the tub like the others and got all of the new holes drilled and countersunk. I plan on using a truck nose on this, but I still have to cut the back of the nose plate off and remove the bumper area on the front. I already have a new motor guard and Reggie hooked me up with a new motor plate. So hopefully it'll be on its way for ano in the next few days.

Re: RC10 B1.5
it's really not all that bright/shiny in person. just a step down process from 80 to 3000 grit, no polish. i don't have ano done all of the time, but the stuff i have had done, that's how i sent it and the parts came back pretty nice.

Re: RC10 B1.5
Did that chassis have scratches on it from being run? is that all elbow grease or machine?
Looks good!

Re: RC10 B1.5
it was run, but it wasn't beat. pics of what it looked like are near the bottom of the previous page (there's 2, this is the nicer one).
i glass beaded the ano off of the bottom only since that's all that required work (the anodiser will strip the rest). then 80 grit on a da, 150 da, 320 da, 400 da, 600/1000/1500/2500 wet by hand, then 3000 on a da.

Re: RC10 B1.5

Re: RC10 B1.5
Did you get "screwed by trinity"?
I love the purple screws...just not on a purple chassis. Now, on a black worlds car...

Re: RC10 B1.5
I had to take a closer look at that tub. At first I had thought it was painted with a high gloss metallic silver, the I noticed that the sides were still black. Nice job polishing that onescr8p wrote:Got the bottom of the tub cleaned up pretty good. Still a couple of scratches at the back but theyre not too bad.

Re: RC10 B1.5
there's no polishing done to that at all. the last thing i use is the 3m trizact 3000 grit foam 6" da pads on a 3/16 orbit da sander..... wet, not dry. after a whole lot of previous grits. once i'm done with it i'll take the worn out piece of 3000 i just used and run it front to back by hand to remove any swirls from the da.

i use them on my paint jobs in the same way, the final stage before polishing. that's the only reason i even have them.
