Looks cool, I don't see any issue with anodizing it? My XXT has a gold anodized one just like yours. I believe it was sold by Racers Edge.jamin wrote:This little beauty is currently on its way from the anodisers - yes I had the balls to anodise a brand new mk1 motor plate
I asked them to colour match it to the Trinity stuff, initially they got it horribly wrong as it took the dye very quickly, but the guys stuck at it and came up with the below which looks much closer.
Pictures can always be a little misleading so I cannot wait to see it for real, it does look pretty close!
What does MK1 mean?

Oh, so it's just another way of saying early version. I've seen that term MK1, 2, 3 with some older VW's lol. I know the centered motor plates were the later version... Gotta keep it OG

Re: Jamin's Losi XXT-CR Graphite+ MK1 Motor Plate!
Yeah sorry, its probably just me that used the 'mk1' phrase - I guess I should of just put 'early milling' or something. I'm a VW nut too so forgive meshoman24v wrote:Oh, so it's just another way of saying early version. I've seen that term MK1, 2, 3 with some older VW's lol.

The motor plate arrived today and I am pleased to say its spot on. Its a better match that the previous one I had fitted, so that one is going to be sold now.
The pics don't really show the true colour, but its very close to the Trinity parts. So glad I have an early milling plate of this colour now

Cheers Andy! No pre-processing needed - I got the plate done by Metal Treatments in Portsmouth - a chap there called Mark Mays did it. Job well done.snowfox wrote: Looks great Ben!

Re: Jamin's Losi XXT-CR Graphite+ MK1 Motor Plate!
So I picked up some new rear wishbones off eBay this week, I didn't realise that the ones i had fitted had the newer white graphite logo on them - when the rest of the truck had the earlier (and better) silver stamping.
Ok so I am struggling to find things to do, but hey its another neat touch that keeps it all consistent
