Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
Lookin' good! It needs some period Pro-Line white Delrin wheels or maybe flourescent yellow TQ wheels to break up the all black look.

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
Well unfortunately I have no period wheels left, Pro-line or whatever, I just have a set of T&A that were in the garbage, I almost throw them away but had time to recover them for this very project, ok not as good as period wheels, but stilltempleofspeed wrote:Lookin' good!

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
What do you mean you almost thew those away. Those are sweet looking wheels. I have a set just like them (not quite as shiny though).
I think it looks fantabulous

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
Come on guys! I was just kidding, do you really think I could do that? Me?
Thanks for the kind comments, I'm really happy with the result, but there is a major problem, I propose you try to notice it, waiting for guesses

Looks like the motor will a tight squeeze. What are those tabs on the chassis?

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
I think that buggy turned out great. My only suggestion would be an MIP battery strap instead of the factory works one. Not because it's any better, It just says MIP

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
The ugly fact that some hop-ups can't be used together. (unhappy marriage!)

Looks like MIP and RRP didn't collaborate on these...

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
You guys are unbeatable, AWESOME!
Now, what can I do, I really don't want to take anything off, maybe redrill some holes in the motor plate to turn it a bit up

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
So let me see if I got this right. You turn the center part that sets between the two tabs under the motor and the arm mounts are threaded, one CW one CCW, and as you turn it, you add to or takes away from the angle depending on which way you twist it?

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
This is the first thing that comes to mind. I don't remember if the input shaft holder sets in the plate or behind the plate.
Where is photo shop when you need it

Re: Ultimate MIP Graphite build
I vote for a polished motor plate. Will go with the wheels & servo mount. But then you need to polish all the shocks...
