Did some anodizing... Turned out pretty nice. The rounded part on the top of the "radiator" of the Litesink was to clear a body I once had on the car. Polished rc10 parts.3.JPG Polished rc10 parts.6.JPG Old motor mount - new ( refurbed Litesink) motor mount Polished rc10 parts.5 (2).JPG Po...

Over the last few days I've been resurrecting a few old and worn parts. Filing, sanding and polishing, polishing, polishing... More hours than I care to admit. My Litesink is the same one I used when I raced my Houge RC10 in the 80's-90's. Never really been happy with the way the Litesink turned out...

First off nice build. And I do really like the Custom special's look, the upgrade graphite chassis is really nice and no platinum shocks. You may be too far along or are satisfied with your repair but... When I built my front diff on my TOMSE I did use a new front housing. I could not find a bearing...

Possibly another option could be... If all you want is a shiny new anodized 6061 chassis and not concerned with getting a correct TOMSE Duralumin hard anodized chassis, for about $20 shipped, https://www.ebay.com/itm/144638020296?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&google_free_listing_action=view_it...

Sorry to hijack the thread... most recent one on the same topic I could find ... I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for polishing the OEM chassis. I'm about to start a restoration & want to use as many of my original parts as possible to control costs, but every time I've tried to do someth...

Nicely done Frankentruck.
Great build.

Maybe an ECX product?

I really did not take any before pics but I did get a couple listing pics...



My first pics were after a brake fluid cleaning and some driver paint

Older RC12L body from a purchase a while ago. Not really sure the manufacturer of the body.
Repainted with somewhat vintage theme.

Congrats Derek and David.
