Dan (not Derby) is correct - it was me who mentioned cutting down shock shafts BITD. Of course nowadays you can just buy the correct length to suit each pivot pointDerbyDan wrote:That red motor plate demonstrates perfectly the difference between the older & newer milled items, it's interesting that it's anodised red, I brought one for my XX in the 90s which was anodised blue but there was a red one on the rack also, I did wonder if they had been anodised by a 3rd party, but it seems they have been official Losi items? My blue one was much darker than the 'Trinity' blue of your motor plate Paul, but it matched the AE Ali screw kit I had fitted perfectly
Regarding the hinge pins, you could get the gold nitrided pins specifically - I hadn't heard of anyone cutting down shock shafts for this purpose before, since these shafts were so expensive..... but it would be a good way to utilise damaged Nitrided shafts?
Sweet ass build Dan, good work. I sooooooo wish i could find a new mk1 milled plate, i'd pay top dollar for one
I too got my blue motor plate from Rick - he must of got a job load of them done - is he still active on here???
Its been fun finding all the different trinity parts, i always wanted those parts when i was young but i never had the £.
