It sure looks new, but there was some grime in one of the upper holes one each side. There were no other marks on it though.

I got to see these cars in person yesterday. Oh Man that Graphite car is so nice, it's going to be a shame to have to run it!

Your doing some great work VAE, thank you for the help!

Okay guys here are the real photos. I didn't put shorty bumper and the chassis tape on the graphite car yet. There are some small bumps along the way too. But nothing that cant be fixed with a drill and some CA glue :shock:

For craps and giggles I threw my runner into the mix, but it just doesn't measure up all dirty like it is

CA glue....Drill! :shock: ?

They look great Anthony!

Is that the correct position for the front shock on the tower? I'm thinking center lower hole?

I think you are right.

Glue, because I suck ass a gluing and if these wheels are going to be used in comparison with the others, these two will have clown tires on them compared to the others. I will let you glue them. A drill would help me ream out the rear wheel holes that shrunk while someone dyed them black, not me :!: A drill would also help me ream out the servo saver arm hole. I crack the first one because I didn't ream it good enough with my knife :oops: so I had to use another one and just put in a small ball stud for show :oops: :oops: I didn't lay down the chassis tape because I wasn't sure if you wanted to glue the edge of the chassis first, which I will also leave that up to :arrow: Rod, yup, you again with the glue :roll:

Back to those rear wheels, I could screw them on and then pop them on the pin once on far enough :lol: 8)

That is where most of us are running the front shocks on high bite or blue grooved tracks-

We want these as close to box stock as possible so we can make a better comparison when they are lap timed at the track!

No problem Anthony, I can do all the gluing! We don't want you mistaking the glue for "the lube" again! :lol:

:shock: you said you wouldn't tell anyone :lol: that would suck, eh! I don't imagine pouring acetone on the member would be too fun either, even with all the pulling :D
