RC12i 3016 Weightsaver

Post by GoMachV »

Picked this one up recently, loved the body and I didn't have any of this version, so here we go....

Came with box and all paperwork, manual is pristine! Never seen a seller take such great care in shipping.

But.....he painted the chassis and parts.

And ran outdoor....
Image

So I stripped the paint, chassis was too far gone so I routered out new plates.....and here it is...

Not sure why he didn't just use the wing mount tubes to mount the body but instead he had a piece of plastic formed into a "T" and it was a bit flexy for my tastes. So....made a G10 "T" and used double side tape to affix

I needed the white servo saver for another project so the black one is installed until I find another.

I was very surprised that nobody else bid. The seller was a real cool guy, I sent him a thank you for the nice packing job and he sent me a novel back lol.

After stripping the paint that chassis was pretty destroyed- but now I have a LW chassis and tray template :mrgreen:
