I have one of these receivers also. I've always called it a NER-2, but never seen any documentation. It's the same size as the old aircraft receivers (bottom half of the case is interchangeable), but it's a purpose built 2 channel.

Hey radioactivity- No big secret as to which tubing bender I'm using. This one has the tightest tolerance, i.e., no play in the handle movement... https://www.ebay.com/itm/322244746338?hash=item4b07489c62

Here, I've sanded off the blue paint to better see the markings...

My first attempt at bending the motor cage was a failure, I didn't realize that as the tube is bent down to meet the cage, they become shorter. I had cut them off, ending up about 4mm short of my goal. :lol: So, start over! I'm close to getting them bent down and notched. I have to make a couple of ...

Looks very cool!

Thanks Nomad. Yeah, I don't have any of the old rattle cans left but I do have about 25 or 30 of the little Pactra bottles and some have never been opened. I was thinking about throwing them in the trash last year when I cleaned the attic - just figured they were no good. I'm kinda glad I kept them ...

Thank you Chuck. Most of the decals are applied to the body and wing so hopefully it's looking a little more like a race car now. I plan to do the final reveal of the completed car in a day or two. Yeah, so I don't fully understand their chemistry but I think the key to a seemingly unlimited shelf l...

Finished the body and I must say I think it changed dramatically. Every bit as nice as I hoped. Under good lighting the paint is very fluorescent, it really pops. Some of the decals are truly vintage. Tekin , Sanyo and ProCar Racing are over 30 years old. Delta, Hyperdrive and sponsor decals are MC...

Lots of paint!
And just for the cost of shipping, pizza (good pizza) and maybe a beer

Thanks!!!
Chuck

Pizza was good, extra pepperoni!

Looks to me like a Minicraft Lazer based on the speed control, sway bar, shocks, body and bumper

Cool build. Keep 'em coming

This is a very interesting build. Looking good so far Chuck.
That's a clever way to make a shock tower spacer. I'd probably tried to hack something out of aluminum - your way seems much better.
I guess it's early but have you given thought to which body you will use?

Gonna look very interesting

So you're using RC10 arms in the end?

I tried something a little different. I used Birchwood Casey aluminum black on the areas I cut/trimmed. It looks fairly good. Particularly around the "squarish" trans opening. It doesn't wipe off with alcohol but it sure isn't as durable as anodize. Chuck Looks awesome Chuck. I'm curious ...

This is looking really nice! I can’t wait to hear a drive report

Wow, excellent build, now I need to resist taking apart my B6.1
