I can check when I get home tonight. I think they won't line up exactly, you'll have to drill a couple holes.

as far as I can measure from an assembled blue eagle and a bulkhead, the holes are a little wider on the blue eagle tower, so you'd have to slot the holes. If you can slightly notch out the plastic on the bottom edge, you can probably drill to pick up the lower holes also.

I took a little closer look and it also appears that the tower is longer at the bottom, so you'd have to trim it up some to make it work as well. Maybe add your own holes located somewhere in a sturdy spot in the bulkhead.

Anybody up for an informal 'show off' contest to make the winter pass by a little faster? I was thinking parts trucks/cars built on a low cash-outlay theme, emphasizing custom mods made from inexpensive materials.

Since the idea came from building...

I am starting out with a very worn 10buck jrx2 from EBay. it will be a stock appering desert truck.

I stripped down the chassis through it in the kitchen sink and wet sanded it down to 600 grit. I didnt even paint it. I put on a AutoZone carbon...

Here we go... I have built a pan and an almost complete graphite old-new RC10s in the last couple years. I have a bunch of parts left over, so now comes the after birth old-new RC10.

My first one was the pan car. I ended up getting a really cool...

These may not be the final wheels and tires I run, depending on what I...

Looks like an interesting build. Custom works has a 7x7 wing for a dirt sprinter if you dont want to build ur own. Cant wait to see more.

Picked this up from a buddy a couple days ago. Cleaned it up a little to assess if it was something I wanted to restore or pass on to someone else. I have to say, this truck seems weird to me. It's a cool truck, but seems to have some oddities....

It's not in bad shape. The front of the chassis is a little rough, but fixable. A few of the original white parts have been replaced with black ones over time and the rear arms are mismatched. Both are white and the same dimensions, but the one on...
