I have almost finished a re re Hotshot and the silver caps are just dummys for looks because of the ESC in the re re. They used to be the heatsinks for the old manual speed controller on the original
Starting to put one of these together. Mainly because it was the first RC off road I built back when it came out. Shied away from it later because there were no parts available. You had to buy a whole kit to keep the suspension arms that seemed to...

Just wanted to update the ball raced steering option I have gone with. Obviously I have fabricated a base plate from 1.6mm fibreglass which is held in place through the original servo mounting holes. It took some working out to get this right. Ive...

I was very fortunate to have a chance to pick up this new built composite craft chassis kit with RPM worlds suspension from my LHS today. My question is did RPM make the worlds suspension arms in black or are these dyed ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much for the help, the reason I asked about the color is because the owner of the shop didn't recall dying the components black. I've attached a few more pictures for a closer look.
The measurement of the rear arm hinge pin to pin is 2...
Does anybody know why these 2 separate frontends would have the upper inside link mounts made 2 different ways? Maybe it’s a manufacturer mistake? I have a few of these cars and I see them all different. Either the hole is on the top or the side or...

Yeah it’s just strange that their all not drilled out the same. I’ll have to carefully drill them out.
