I really like all the polished alum against the yellow. Not sure about the textured bottom though.

Thanks

the top is a yellow paint used to make the linex yellow .. i forget what he called it

as for the bottom .. i wanted the truck to be used so i wanted the toughest bottom i could get for it .. if the bottom gets scrached the texture will hide it and the linex is about 3mm thick and yellow all the way through

just waiting on parts so i rebuilt the shocks and painted the springs and letters on the tires

So, do they warranty this against chips?

I do like the polished bits a lot against the yellow. Looks cool!

hmmm dont know ... never asked

weve dont tests with it on sheet metal and other than putting some scraches in it we couldnt get it to chip hitting it with a sledge and axe

I had thought about doing a chassis in Line-x, but never done it. It is good to see I'm not the only nut. I'm going to do my basher Z01Te, winter project. I'll do a post when I start. Need to sell some parts to fund my projects. Money is tight, life change - no job, no wife, and I've got the kids. I need my hobby or someone is getting hurt!

thanks would love to see picts of yours .. it sucks having a hobby and no money

im hopeing the parts will arive this week so i can put it back together

so i finished stripping the body and layed out the new paint job





and here is my inspiration

http://www.buffaloexterminating.com/content/images/pest_pictures/Yellow_Jacket.jpg


going to be done in yellow and black to match the chassy

i ran into some trouble and need a hand

the center diff outdrives were wore to the point that they would bind when rotated so i looked them up and ordered a set for the truck from OFNA Wherehouse part#40005

so i got them and they looked a little diffrent .. thinking they where updated i installed them to find out that the cups where too long and the center diff sits off the chasy by 1/4 to 1/2"

i took some pict and did a mesurment

the old ones have a overall lenght of 1 3/16" and the new ones are 1 5/16" .. any one know what i need .. ive looked over alot of them and the closest i could find are # 41404 and #19006

but dont want to order the wrong set again

here are some picts

That's weird. Are they the correct ones? Are they front or rear diff cups instead of center cups?

right part number .. the front and rears dont have the flat sides

ive insalled the old ones for now till i find new ones ... if i have to ill cut 1/4" out of the center axels and weld them back

ok wtf is going on

so after waiting almost 40 days for the arms to arrive from rcboyz they are not the right ones ... they look like the right ones but they are 3/4" to 1" too short ... i hate nitro

this cant be a Ofna Mutilator or pro

finaly figured out what this is .... its a NEXX 8T TRUGGY ... now to order the right parts
