I went and took some slightly nicer photos in a friends booth.
Pretty happy with the results.
The race I built it for has been delayed though,

Re: 870 "custom"
Paint all done. Fairly satisfied with the results :) Probably obvious to most people here, but basically the box art layout, but instead of red and white, metal flake (Tamiya lame flake) black over black with silver borders (semi-gloss silver anodized). Some "creative" use of some Masami f...

Re: 870 "custom"
The last piece of the puzzle arrived this week. Got a chance to rough cut the body tonight, and have it sitting nicely. I had to shorten/re-solder the motor wires, quite tight in this area. Got the rear tower done last week too, and took it for a little spin. With Just a few small adjustments on the...

Re: 870 "custom"
Fair bit of progress :) I picked up my chassis plates, towers, etc on Sunday. Spent some time over the last 2 days doing the prep work of filing the chassis for arm clearance, and touching up the holes for the cells. I spent today turning up the battery posts. Made from 8mm aluminium hex bar. About ...

Re: 870 "custom"
Looking good! I have something similar with a carbon fiber 870c lipo chassis and works style arms. Sounds cool. I might go for something like that for the 2nd one. I have been running playing with a Tamiya Top Force, and like this it's very light especially now I've fitted a shorty lipo, so I wante...

870 "custom"
Hey guys. I just signed up. Thought I would share my 870c project. Did a little reading here, the FB pages, and browsing Michael Vollmers builds and decided I wanted to build something up from parts. Started with a YR-4 donor, using JC Racing repro arms, and a concoction of Kyosho and Tamiya parts t...
