Don't worry I will do both, I am seeing metallic paint. Maybe, but I am not sure. I am stuck on the invisible shorts, if only I could offer my female clients invisible shorts, I would love it, my girlfriend ...not so much. Sad but I realized I have to post laughing faces after every comment I make I don't want negative vibes or comments from a womens club
I had the joy of holding the multi color chassis today. The prep of the chassis under the color gives it a texture no camera can appreciate. I think the imagination of Romulus has only just begun. My vote was for front shocks anodized to match the light shade..and rears to match in kind, with a body painted in the same theme, and agreeing with front chassis parts in white with rears in black.
I like the idea of the car appearing as a single piece of steel would after being heated in flame, and with the permanent discolored rainbow effect.
I couldn't wait, so I re-assembled it in all its original glory, but I think the chassis took a trip through East L.A., and ended up in the Haight. I will do the crazy build later with more anodized aluminum pieces, but for now it is something nice to look at. I think I should go with the one battery tray to show more chassis, and try to work out the body. Not enough hours in the day.
Hey guys, just picked up some hard anodized shocks on ebay.....they are .89 front shocks, plastic cap.....they are really gray, and not the olive-ish color that most hard anodized shocks are....

So while polishing up one of my chassis I managed to over polish a have grey spots on a black chassis.
The anodize is still present so I don't think aluminum black would work. Has anyone come up with a way to darken faded dye.
I was thinking of...

It looks like Caswell may have a kit that would help.
I am not sure if this is just a degreaser, aluminum black and, a sealer.
This project started with a new partially assembled RC10B4. This could be the stealthiest RC10 of all time. Except for the shocks, this is as blacked out as a buggy can be!
I came across blue anodized suspension arms for the B4 (not sure who the...

Thank you for the suggestions. I have been very lucky with this project. I have an Avante MK2 and realized that the Tamiya shocks were the same length as the B4, and the color matched the color of the suspension arms! The plastic associated ball...
First I would like to say how much I like this site, it really adds to the collecting having so much info available. This is my tribute to what i think is one of my favorite American Design Achievements from the 80's. Many months ago I decided to...

Thanks for you vote of confidence. More to come soon.
I had a nice description written and lost the whole damn thing before I hit submit. :evil:
This is an on and off project I've had since having this B chassis, nose, motor plate, and wheels anodized red last year. Towers are Hot Trick, nose tubes...

I hope you don't consider this as thread pollution, but I ran across this, maybe a little on purpose just moments after my previous post. :lol: 8) Dig those crazy outfits... :mrgreen:
Got a challenge, probably not enough parts to complete 1 but likely enough to get close to 2. Looking to build a Worlds and a non worlds. Then I am on a parts hunt :)

Cool. Old thread but thought I would respond anyways. I have a new built from box BX and one with the Worlds kit added to it. Both are shelf queens. I also have a used one with some parts that I intend to use as a runner. I will likely need parts....
I use one 2.4 Ghz Futaba transmitter for all of my cars. Last night I drove my Top Cat around my track and it was dead slow, like battery dumping slow. Changed to a fresh-off-the-charger battery- same result. Nothing apparently wrong with the car...

I’ve had this exact experience with my futaba as well. I’ve done it countless times now and always only realize when the particular vehicle I’m driving is doing something strange. If only I could remember to make sure I’m set to the correct one...
