well, it's on wheels. :)

i made up some turnbuckles out of 4/40 rod, just to figure out the lengths i needed. hopefully, i'll be able to come up with some blue ft ones.

i don't think i'll be able to put a gear cover on it. with the way i mounted the b3 motor plate, the gear cover would probably hit the outdrive. although, i could notch it out. i don't think they make them in white for the b3 though. :?

it'll most likely just get a white spur, and a blue pinion if i can find one.

the rear tires are TQ-21's.

RPM also makes blue nuts for your front wheels that match their tie rod ends :wink:

daryl, i think lots of people are looking for your bellcrank parts. its a good thing you sold them with left and right pieces, because when i broke one that i had i just took the leftover one that was included and flipped it over so i could continue using them. i have seen some guys take the leftover one and cut off the left/right arm to replace the straight one. its too bad you dont have anymore, were all the bell cranks you made the same legnth most of the ones i've seen seem to be the same legnth just drilled different on the chassis.

That car is sweet!! I love it. I want to do a blue and black theme on mine. Wow that looks great. Nice Job!! By the way I know how you feel about Hobbby Town, its the only hobby store by me and they have a few kids that don't want to help with anything. I always go early when the manager is in, he knows his stuff.

beautiful car scr8p, it's kind of like something i've been trying to put together. how often do the RPM front and rear bulkheads come around? i've been looking for a while now with no joy :(

well, the front bulkhead on this car is a standard rc10t. the narrow rpm bulkhead will not let you attach the nose brace tubes to it. rpm front bulkheads are almost non existant, from what i've seen. the rear rpm bulkheads pop up on ebay every now and then. but be prepaired to shell out some dough for one. :wink:
