STAY HERE WAITING? Whata you think this is JEOPARDY!!??? ROFLMAO

well, the chassis mods are done.

i still have to cut down the nose brace tubes, and work on mounting a servo and the body. maybe today yet. but, the hard part's done.

nice job on shortening the chassis,
is the idea to have the nose of the beetle protected by the "ae " front plate?

well................ya, but i hadn't really planned on that. it's just where the body ended up sitting when i moved the nose plate back.

i'm loving that scr8p . great job of shortening the pan.

What are you using to "re-anodize" the cut edges...A orange highlighter?...

I've used those to fill in scratches on the orange/gold chassis...

ya, and orange sharpie. it's not perfect, but when the car's together, it doesn't jump out at you as much as the bare aluminum did.

I know your tricks!!!

the other thing i thought of using is that tamiya stuff that shodog uses on his rims. at least that way i could tint it to match better.

hmmm... I know that Krylon makes an "anodized" paint finish in a few different colors. I've see the blue in use, it's pretty darn good.

i'll look into that stuff, too.

Looking good!
I'm getting bit by the "Bug" again...

Then it wouldn't be an RC10 Scorcher...



It's all about the tub...until someone makes a graphite version...
