If your coating the mag mount, go with a testors dullcote, its flat, and goes on very thin, and R is right, itll preserve the finish, ive got new sealed ones that look terrible, but thats Magnesium for you lol!

Lee

Most folk seem to have the motor mount bead blasted, but id just give it a blast off with brake cleaner as i don't like the shine after polishing lol. Your wing may come up with a bit of Novus plastic polish, but it looks like its the side fences that are scuffed, so some nicely placed large sticker...

I hope they do buddy lol, should be fine, may run a super thin back up coat of CA just to be sure, if i ever get stripped down to my chassis plate, i will make a template for Shawn to get some custom trays done, still would be nice to have!

Lee

Its not a tray guys, didnt fancy that route, these are carbon pieces you CA to the lipo, works great!

Painted myself a new shell for racing, and started on fitting the lipo packs. Ive used lipo locators, and filed a tad of the front posts, so i can keep it neat and as original as can be, just need to raise the posts now on spacers and were set. I ve added some ballast, but i think ill need more as i...

Looks a great start, id have jumped on that too TBH! Front arms are maybe your rarest bit there, as for a bumper, i have a few still formed, drilled, but not finished. JC for wheels, avoid the ARP wheels on Ebay, they are JUNK, and crack with the slightest impact, think i may have a wing i can part...

Agreed, that wing is ridiculous, but in this hobby, you do get the odd dreamer lol, may try a lexan wing anyway to save the nylons i have, seems a good option!

Oooooh, very nice, i feel an order coming up to bling the '92. Great stuff for making these available Rheinaldo!

Kinda lost who i spoke to about these, now i find the thread lol, i want a pair of works trays (870) and, if i was to trace, draw round my '94 chassis, reckon we can get trays made, I'm running both mine now and could do with making the move to Lipo!

bests......lee

The pics just keep coming, this really is awesome news, re re the lot i say, I've no interest in hoarding for financial gain, i just love my toys
We need a turbo hop up offering too though

lee

Haha, flu i can paint, but not to this level, had it done by a top man on Oople! The wing is a Mikes racing products affair, bought a few a while back! Front wing is a piece of undertray cut up, easy fix, thanks for the compliments buddy, i do try, hopefully a vid soon of a carpet meet, nothing craz...

Rheinaldo, i used the YR plastic bulkheads and black caps buddy, going to send of my mag ones to be blasted too though, that way i have a few spare. Ah, the front wing, its more a bit of protection, for the tower, and the planned carpet ill be running on, i won't rip it, and, hopefully not dig my to...

Made a few updates to this old girl of late. Added a new shell, wing, delrin bulkheads and caps, new motor mount, new layshaft and slipper components, just wanted to make it a bit more mine, be racing her next week now as i can't make this weeks meet, and, that reminds me, gotta go pay a lovely guy ...
