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!
they made a running change to the milling pattern when they released the 'centred motor plate kit' will less milling:shoman24v wrote: 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.
What does MK1 mean?
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. I know the centered motor plates were the later version... Gotta keep it OG

Thanks for all the great build threads, beautiful photos, and vintage RC information.

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!
