Re: Due to Inflation I've started Investing in Gold and Silv
Just saying doing the polishing work yourself isnt that hard. A greased lightning bath to get all the old anodizing off. the body is easy to polish in most places and cloth polishing wheel on a dremel can handle all the inside corners.
@OP, are you sure its chrome? I thought he said it was just polished really well before he anodized it in clear.
Also guys, fleabay wont let him send any personal info, He is going to tell you to ask someone on the forum to get his information.

Great build! Those shock towers turned out very nice!
Don has done a couple for me you can take a look at the gallery. The link is below.

Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

Re: Due to Inflation I've started Investing in Gold and Silv
I've made a few additions/upgrades to the Shiny Gold RC10 Project. Updates include: Two Tone Rogue Wheels, Battery Strap, Arms, Bell Crank, Shiny gold Shock Bodies, Shock Collars, and Antenna Mount. My goal is to eventually eliminate all of the plastic parts. I need to find/make the following: Servo Mount, Shock Spring Cups, Gear Cover, and Rod Ends.

Re: Due to Inflation I've started Investing in Gold and Silv
every time I see that polished anodized tub, it makes me want to get mine anodized. Love the way that looks.
for your missing parts
Servo Mounts are from the B4, I got mine from STRC
Shock Spring Cups, Chophead makes a nice set of these
Gear Cover, You might be sol on this. The one I used was for an SC10 from integy and they havent restocked them in a long time. Golden horizons made an SC10 cover too but they discontinued a while back. I only used 1 screw to mount these.
Rod ends, Ive got 2 options that ive seen. Both of these options are sorta shoehorned in there and dont work perfectly as is. Ive had binding that had to be sanded down some to add clearance, and both cant be taken appart to seperate the ball from the rod end.
-RC4wd makes 4-40 rod ends. the threads are only in 1 direction and they are long. The ends used on the drag ling will have to be modified. I actually busted a few of these when I took my fully metal cars over some jumps.
-Integy 3mm rod ends with another companies turnbuckles, i used lunsford.

Thanks for the compliments. A Ebayer named Smizmar1/Don Martin made them. He is a very talented Anodizer and more recently painter
