Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

Hey guys, was able to get the wheels and tires mounted up, came out pretty good, I didnt use any foams for the tires, the fronts fit ok, I think the bead on the schumacher fronts are just a tad to wide, as they seem to not sit exactly perfect, but for a display I can live with it. The rears fit grea...

Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

The wheels come in from JC RACING today, I also picked up some Schumacher tires from Ebay, the front tires have this white/gray film/powder on them, I'm guessing it's a release agent from the tire mold?

Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

Thanks guys for the comments, I first thought about going pink again on the chassis, and doing everything else in black, But in the end black won me over, both for convenience (able to do all parts at once) and the simple fact I kinda wanted a more "modern" look to it. Plus the stainless h...

Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

Had some more free time yesterday, was able to get this basically finished. I did re-dye the chassis again, as it had some lighter spots on it. For the most part all the parts look pretty damn good, there is however some lighter blueish/purple color that I didn't notice, Until I started the assembly...

Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

Well was able to get a little bit of progress done earlier today. I picked up a stainless screw set from Team KNK, A nice set of screws I do gotta say, every zip lock baggie is marked (paper insert) of what size/type screw. Also picked up a RPM gear cover, some nylon nuts for the shocks and for top ...

Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

Haven't forgot about this guy's, just life's other things going on. Will be getting back to work here real soon, hope to have this put back together before then.

Re: RPM Ultra Chassis eBay pick up

you'll want to use the RIT dyemore(?) graphite which is essentioally black but for the better of the dyes offered by RIT at this point. The newer RIT black dye formula is not as strong as the old stuff and doesn't work as good anymore. Todd Oh....Thanks for the heads up, been a little while since I...
