Not really...Epic endbell.
I just threw it in there so it was complete before going in the display case.

Trinity Green Machine 1, or Trinity Green machine 2- I am pretty sure it is a green machine 2

.and the epic endbell means as much as the Yokomo endbell on a Reedy motor

And it being a Green MAchine 1 or 2 means about as much to me as the weather in India...........

I recieved this off wreck off ebay with the idea or recreating the rc10 graphite i bought in 1990 while on holiday in Orlando, its the one on the right in my avatar next to the works 91 yoke
I particularly liked the servo mounting system!


Thanks to this website and an awful lot of hydrogen peroxide this is how she looks now

My latest:



Which turned ino this because I didn't know how to remove anosizing at the time, and I sanded to much. So I ended up cutting it.


And is now this:

Before








After







The only part I replaced was a bent dog bone. It has the smoothest 6 gear transmission I've ever seen. All the gears are bevel cut and has an upgraded diff hub with bearings on both ends.

Here's one of just a few I had before pics taken. Tamiya Super shot.

Just finished another restore. This was from my "Motherload" score. This car was in good shape to begin with. Broken shock tower was about it. i disassembled everything. All the white parts got the peroxide treatment. Every screw, axel, gear, dog, bone, nut, washer got polished with a wire brush in the dremel. Transmission and diff are like new. Freshened up the motor, installed a new MSC and borrowed a body from another car of mine. My other car is in a little better shape and i don't need two, so this one is going on ebay.
